Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier for sales teams. B-tier for solo users.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.
