| Kai's verdict | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right. | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. |
