Kai's verdictA-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.
