| Kai's verdict | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. |
