| Kai's verdict | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
