| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage. | S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. |
