| 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 for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
