| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. |
