| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
