| Kai's verdict | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. |
