Kai's verdictA-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.B-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.
