| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating. |
