| Kai's verdict | A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point. | S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
