Kai's verdictS-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.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.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
