Kai's verdictA-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.
