| 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. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
