Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.	A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.	A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.
