Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.A-tier. Close second to Cursor.
