| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes. |
