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 inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
