| Kai's verdict | 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. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. |
