Weaknesses	Writing quality trails Claude/ChatGPT Political bias debates Ecosystem is just X	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Expensive Best for well-scoped tasks Not for solo hobbyists
Kai's verdict	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.
