| 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. | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. |
