| 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 for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. |
