| Kai's verdict | A-tier for sales teams. B-tier for solo users. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. |
