Kai's verdictA-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
