Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.
