Kai's verdict	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
