| 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. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
