| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
