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.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
