Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
