Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic.
