Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.A-tier. Bet on this one — the Sparkpage format is genuinely new.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.
