Kai's verdict	A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.	A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.
