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.S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
