Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform.S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it.
