Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
