| Kai's verdict | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. |
