| 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 solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
