Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
