Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes.
