| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results. | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. |
