Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.
