Kai's verdictB-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.
