| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter. |
