Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
