Kai's verdictB-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.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.
