Weaknesses	Lower fidelity than Runway/Kling Still rough on complex scenes	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription
Kai's verdict	A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
