Kai's verdictS-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
