Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.
