Kai's verdictS-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
