Kai's verdict	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.
