| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right. |
