Kai's verdictS-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.
