Kai's verdictA-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA.
