| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. |
