| 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. | A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. |
