Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.
