| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter. |
