Kai's verdict	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
