| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
