| 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. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time. |
