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 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.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.
