Weaknesses	Not a traditional NLE — some workflows awkward Overdub ethics require care	Early-stage — rough edges Less reliable than Perplexity for simple questions	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control
Kai's verdict	S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.	A-tier. Bet on this one — the Sparkpage format is genuinely new.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
