| Kai's verdict | B-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. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results. |
