| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. HeyGen wins for creators, Synthesia wins for enterprise. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
