Kai's verdict	A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.	A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.
