Weaknesses	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Writing quality trails Claude/ChatGPT Political bias debates Ecosystem is just X	No free tier Discord-first UX (web now available) Less controllable than ComfyUI	Smaller community Model selection more limited
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 aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.	A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.
