| Kai's verdict | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results. | S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously. |
