Kai's verdictA-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.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.
