OpenAI’s Windsurf deal is off, and Windsurf’s CEO is going to Google

Windsurf and Cursor are in the business of reselling ChatGPT and Claude at a loss, but the tech itself is not impressive at all

Those wrappers are gonna go away now that there's Claude Code and Googles CLI thing. They are that much better.

Are they?

Cursor's Accept / Reject feature for each change it makes in each file is nice whereas I have to use a diff tool to review the changes in Claude Code.

Also, if I go down a prompt alley that's a dead end, Cursor has the Restore Checkpoint feature to get back to the original prompt and try a different path. With Claude Code, you had better have committed the code to git, otherwise you end up with a mess you didn't want.

My company pays for both, but I mostly use Cursor unless I know I am doing a new project or some proof of concept, which Claude Code might have an edge on with a more mature TODO list feature.

None of these features are very deep though, there’s dozens of OSS clones for them already.
