| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026. | Symphony is the most architecturally serious 'issue tracker as control plane' approach yet — 15K GitHub stars in weeks confirms the idea resonates — but it's still a rough, self-hosted engineering preview that demands Elixir chops and a Linear-only workflow. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. |
