Kai's verdictS-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.
