Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.
