Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
