Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
