Kai's verdictA-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
