| Kai's verdict | B-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. | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
