| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today. |
