Kai's verdictA-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.
