Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option.
