Kai's verdict	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it.
