Kai's verdictS-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
