This article is really difficult to read or its just me? The breaks with the adds are really distracting and I don't know what the author actually is saying here, that he will try windsurf? Do I need to watch the video?
I had the same thought, basically here's a summary, as far as I can tell:
> AIs are sometimes good for code, sometimes not so good. I put some money in but don't know what code will come out, and it's so easy to put more money in. My friend told me to use Windsurf instead of Cursor, and it's easy to switch IDEs, they have no moat. Where's the moat?
Hey, to clarify it's about the user experience of IDEs - how it feels to jump from one to the other, how the UI prompts you to add more credits (so you can end up spending a lot if you're not careful with prompts).
This has often drawn similarities to a slot machine, the way it is not deterministic what code will come out, and what changes to which files will be made.

AFAICT, that's the whole article.
