Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
