“Free tier with no restrictions is remarkable. Completion quality rivals Copilot for most languages.”
“Hard to argue with free. The enterprise features and Windsurf IDE show they have a real business model beyond the free tier.”
“Been using this for 3 months — it's become indispensable.”
“Giving away code completion to win IDE market share with Windsurf is a smart long-term play.”
“The demo is impressive but real-world usage reveals rough edges.”
