Kai's verdictA-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.
