Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
