Kai's verdict	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
