Kai's verdict	A-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 in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to.	B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
