Best forTeams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs.Designers, brand teams, anyone needing vector output or tight style control.VS Code users who want agentic coding without changing IDEs.Developers + power users who want control and privacy.

Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
