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.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.
