Kai's verdictS-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier. Useful for first drafts. v0 is the better bet for shipping code.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.
