Weaknesses
  • Slight markup over direct API
  • Some provider features not exposed
  • Less flexible than raw code
  • Pricing per-site adds up
  • Terminal-based — learning curve

Kai's verdictS-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
