Kai's verdictA-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
