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're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.
