Kai's verdict	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
