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.S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
