| 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. | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. |
