| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. |
