Kai's verdictS-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 open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
