Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
