Kai's verdict	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.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	A-tier for sales teams. B-tier for solo users.
