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.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.
