Kai's verdict	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.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	B-tier. Useful for first drafts. v0 is the better bet for shipping code.
