| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. |
