Kai's verdict	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
