| Kai's verdict | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. |
