Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.
