Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
