Kai's verdictA-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
