| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. |
