| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. |
