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 creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.
