| 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. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. | S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week. |
