Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
