Weaknesses	Expensive at scale Still needs post-editing	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Lower fidelity than Runway/Kling Still rough on complex scenes
Kai's verdict	S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point.
