Kai's verdictA-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
