Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.
