| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
