| Kai's verdict | B-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. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for kids learning. The tutoring UX is legit — not a generic chatbot dressed up. |
