| Best for | Podcasters, course creators, anyone editing talking-head content. | Anyone already on Google, research tasks, summarizing long documents. | Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs. | Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
