Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
