| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
