Weaknesses	Smaller community Model selection more limited	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Writing quality trails Claude Over-refusals on edge content UI is cluttered	Output needs designer polish Pricing unclear / changes often
Kai's verdict	A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.	B-tier. Useful for first drafts. v0 is the better bet for shipping code.
