Kai's verdictS-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.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.S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.
