| Kai's verdict | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | A-tier for sales teams. B-tier for solo users. |
