Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
