| Kai's verdict | S-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 creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. |
