What’s their motivation to build tools like uv and ruff? What’s their business model?

Windsurf has plugins for Jetbrains products, for vim, for emacs, for Visual Studio (not code), XCode, and even eclipse. They try to get as much of the market as possible, while Cursor focuses on the core functionality.

Whenever I tried Windsurf Editor, or their plugin for vim, and Intellij, it didn't feel polished at all. The basic function of autocomplete felt much much snappier on Cursor, and even on GitHub Copilot for vim/intellij.

I think this is exactly what’s going to happen with “super smart unsafe AI”. If it’ll be abused and overused like this, people will just stop tuning in to those media sources where AI can easily dominate.

AI dominates instagram space? Why bother scrolling through it? It’s not interesting anymore. AI dominates online media? Why bother getting your information online?
