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 for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.
