Kai's verdictA-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
