Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
