| Kai's verdict | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
