Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both.A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage.
