Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
