| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
