| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. |
