| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
