Weaknesses	Terminal-only Less agentic than Claude Code Setup on Windows is fiddly	Stricter content policy than competitors Hit-or-miss on complex motion Text-in-video still struggles	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	English quality behind Claude/GPT Less well-known outside Asia
Kai's verdict	A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.	A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA.
