Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
