Kai's verdictA-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
