Are cordless brad nailers as good as pneumatic ones?

Reviewer consensus

Across the reviewers we read, the consensus is that for trim, molding, and cabinet work the convenience of cordless now outweighs the downsides for most users. Carpentry-community commenters repeatedly note that a 'two-minute job takes two minutes' with no compressor setup, though several high-trust threads flag that cordless tools are heavier, have a slight wind-up delay, and can struggle to fully sink nails into hardwood compared with a good air gun.
