| Best for | Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs. | Marketing video, pitch decks, b-roll, creative shorts. | General use, voice chat, image generation, first-time AI users. | People who want to hand off tasks entirely — trip planning, research, spreadsheet building. |

| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
