Kai's verdict	S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.	S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.
