Kai's verdictA-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
