Kai's verdictA-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.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.
