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.	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
