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.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
