Kai's verdictS-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.
