Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.
