Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
