Best for	Developers. Non-developers who want to ship working code.	Designers, brand teams, anyone needing vector output or tight style control.	Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs.	Teachers prepping materials. School districts.
Strengths	Tab completion feels like mind-reading Composer for multi-file edits Runs Claude, GPT, Gemini — you pick	Exports SVG vectors — rare in AI image gen Strong style control + consistency Brand kit for consistent outputs	Great enterprise story Works in your existing IDE Chat + autocomplete	60+ teacher-specific tools Generous free tier FERPA + COPPA compliant for schools
Weaknesses	Can feel overwhelming for non-coders Expensive at scale	Less hyped than Midjourney Learning curve for non-designers	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Teacher-only focus Less useful for students
Kai's verdict	S-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.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier for teachers. If you teach K-12, start here this week.
