Kai's verdictB-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
