Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.
