Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.
