Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
