Kai's verdictA-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
