Kai's verdictB-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
