| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. |
