| Kai's verdict | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
