Kai's verdictA-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both.
