Weaknesses	Best for shadcn stack Iterating can be fiddly	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription
Kai's verdict	S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
