Kai's verdictA-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.S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
