Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
