Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.
