Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
