Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
