Kai's verdictB-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.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.
