Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier. Useful for first drafts. v0 is the better bet for shipping code.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.
