| Kai's verdict | S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
