| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today. |
