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. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
