Kai's verdictA-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.
