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 if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
