| Kai's verdict | A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
