Weaknesses	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Stricter content policy than competitors Hit-or-miss on complex motion Text-in-video still struggles	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Early-stage — rough edges Less reliable than Perplexity for simple questions
Kai's verdict	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't.
