Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
