Reviewer scorecard
“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.”
“Giving away code completion to win IDE market share with Windsurf is a smart long-term play.”
“Vendor lock-in concerns. Hard to migrate once you're committed.”
“The API design is thoughtful. Integrates well with existing stacks.”
