Kai's verdictS-tier for teachers. If you teach K-12, start here this week.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.
