| Kai's verdict | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. |
