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 designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.
