Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.
