| Kai's verdict | B-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. | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. |
