Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
