| Kai's verdict | A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
