| Kai's verdict | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. |
