| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA. | A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026. |
