| Kai's verdict | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. |
