Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
