Kai's verdict	S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.
