Weaknesses	Best for shadcn stack Iterating can be fiddly	Still catching up on quality vs Kling/Runway Less control than pros need	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Academic-only Can hallucinate citations — verify everything
Kai's verdict	S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.	A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.
