Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
