| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. | A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
