Kai's verdictB-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.
