| Kai's verdict | S-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds. | 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. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. |
