| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier for teachers. If you teach K-12, start here this week. |
