| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
