Kai's verdictS-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.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.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
