Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.
