Weaknesses	Mac-only Single-user by design	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Can feel overwhelming for non-coders Expensive at scale	Slow vs doing it yourself Breaks on complex auth flows $200/mo gate
Kai's verdict	S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.	B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
