Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
