Kai's verdict	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
