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 for sales teams. B-tier for solo users.A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.
