Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses.
