Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.
