Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
