You're using it to write code. I did that and saw all the same problems. I was particularly taken aback by the deleting code thing. (Me: "Why did you delete that code - it has nothing to do with the task I asked you to do". AI: "Oh you're right, sorry".)
I set a far lower bar for paying for windsurf - I just wanted a smarter grep. I was blown away when I pointed it at some code and asked it questions I knew the answer to. But then I asked it questions I didn't know the answer to. I can't recall it helping in the slightest on any code base I was familiar with.
Maybe it will help writing unit tests. It sure as hell didn't help for a Python 2 to 3 conversion. 50% of it was just plain wrong, and most of the remaining 50% needed fixing. So far, for this person who has been programming for 40 years, it a net drag on productivity.
