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 for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
