| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. |
