| Kai's verdict | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
