Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
