| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. |
