| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. |
