Kai's verdictS-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.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. Bet on this one — the Sparkpage format is genuinely new.
