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 if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.	A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.
