Kai's verdict	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier for kids learning. The tutoring UX is legit — not a generic chatbot dressed up.	S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
