Kai's verdictA-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
