| Kai's verdict | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. |
