Kai's verdictA-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.
