Kai's verdictS-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
