Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking.
