| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. |
