Kai's verdict	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	A-tier. Bet on this one — the Sparkpage format is genuinely new.	S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it.
