| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
