Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
