Strengths	Ships working React + Tailwind code Shadcn/ui native One-click deploy to Vercel	Train your own models on your style/character Great for game art + concept art Generous free tier	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Production-grade agent primitives Built on Claude (best reasoning) Full control — build exactly what you need
Weaknesses	Best for shadcn stack Iterating can be fiddly	General output behind Midjourney Can be overwhelming	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Developer-only You build the UI
Kai's verdict	S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	S-tier if you live in the terminal.
