Reviewer scorecard
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“Free tier with no restrictions is remarkable. Completion quality rivals Copilot for most languages.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“Hard to argue with free. The enterprise features and Windsurf IDE show they have a real business model beyond the free tier.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
“Giving away code completion to win IDE market share with Windsurf is a smart long-term play.”
