| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. |
