| Kai's verdict | S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. |
