Weaknesses	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Still catching up on quality vs Kling/Runway Less control than pros need	Cold starts on less-popular models Pricing gets real at scale
Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.	S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
