Kai's verdictA-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.
