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.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
