Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
