Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.	S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.
