Best forDevelopers. Non-developers who want to ship working code.Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.Designers already on Figma.Designers, brand teams, anyone needing vector output or tight style control.

  • Learning curve for non-designers
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. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.
