Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.
