Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
