Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
