Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
