Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
