Kai's verdict	S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video.	B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
