Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
