Kai's verdict	A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026.	A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
