Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
