| Kai's verdict | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for realtime. If latency matters more than voice catalog, start here. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
