Kai's verdictS-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.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.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
