| Kai's verdict | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results. |
