Kai's verdictA-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. Bet on this one — the Sparkpage format is genuinely new.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
