| Kai's verdict | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here. |
