Kai's verdictA-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.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
