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. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.
