| 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. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
