| Kai's verdict | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. |
