| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. |
