Prediction: OpenAI will buy Windsurf and then make it free with one of the cheaper OpenAI plans, effectively trying to kill the other IDEs and getting access to data which helps it compete/better against Claude and Gemini. Google needs to launch its equivalent, and Anthropic needs to figure out their plan.

  Not apples to apples, isn’t Firebase studio tied to Firebace, and not general purpose development? TBH, I didn’t look deeper since I made the above assumption based on the name.

    No, it's just a rebranded version of Project IDX, their cloud-based VS Code fork. No need to use Firebase, that's just the branding.
