Kai's verdictA-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive.
