Kai's verdictA-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.
