| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
