Weaknesses	UX is rough for English speakers Queue times	No free tier Discord-first UX (web now available) Less controllable than ComfyUI	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control
Kai's verdict	A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.	S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
