Kai's verdictA-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it.
