Kai's verdictA-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
