Kai's verdictS-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.
