Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. Bet on this one — the Sparkpage format is genuinely new.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
