Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it.
