| 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. | S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. |
