| Kai's verdict | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026. |
