| Kai's verdict | S-tier for teachers. If you teach K-12, start here this week. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. |
