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. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes.S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.
