| 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 if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. |
