| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. |
