Weaknesses	UX is rough for English speakers Queue times	Can burn tokens fast if not watched Less polished than Cursor	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Feature sprawl AI agents need tuning to be useful
Kai's verdict	A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.	A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.
