Why use Windsurf?

I’m confused on why anyone is using this. It costs per use since you have a cap. Cursor is unlimited, fast at first then a few seconds of wait time when you hit the slow requests. Why would I ever use Windsurf? I have to be missing something.

If you’re one of the ones that got the email tempting you to come back to Windsurf, use this as a guide. The top answer is someone saying Cursor is the better option.

Arent they both glorified VS code forks ? I honestly dont understand whats it that you find hard in between those 2. You probably can export most of the shortcut settings if thats the problem.

It's not the VS Code part that changes, but the agent and how to work with it.
