| 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. | A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. |
