Strengths	Very strong motion + physics Often beats Runway on realism Great price	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Trained on licensed content — commercially safe Generative Fill in Photoshop is incredible Native to Adobe ecosystem	Detects + mirrors emotional tone EVI (Empathic Voice Interface) feels different Expressive voice output
Weaknesses	UX is rough for English speakers Queue times	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Niche use case Pricing ramps fast
Kai's verdict	A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.
