Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds.
