Kai's verdictS-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.
