Kai's verdictA-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
