| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | 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. | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. |
