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.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.
