Kai's verdictA-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
