Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
