| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026. | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
