| 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. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here. |
