Kai's verdict	A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
