Kai's verdictS-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.
