Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier for ops automation. B-tier for simple copy (use Claude).S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.
