Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
