| Kai's verdict | A-tier for sales teams. B-tier for solo users. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. |
