| Kai's verdict | B-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. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood. |
