Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
