| 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. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. |
