Kai's verdictA-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
