| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously. |
