Kai's verdictS-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 in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
