Kai's verdictA-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.A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point.
