Kai's verdictS-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.
