The recent addition of Consensus Deep Search mode is a great boost to its retrieval capabilities. On top of that, it has one of the most appealing interfaces out there, with color-coded references, and the Consensus Meter, for all its methodological faults, is likely to appeal to undergraduates and less advanced users. Add advanced pre-filters and LibKey integration to institutional full-text, and it is easy to guess this will be a hit for many users doing narrative literature reviews.
