| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
