| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right. |
