| 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. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier for sales teams. B-tier for solo users. |
