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.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.
