Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
