| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | 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. |
