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. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
