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.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point.
