Kai's verdictB-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-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.
