Kai's verdictA-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.
