| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
