| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. |
