Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier for teachers. If you teach K-12, start here this week.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video.
