Kai's verdictB-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 if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
