They didn't even buy an IDE since windsurf is more like a VS code plugin.

So what was it exactly that was worth the 3B that they couldn't replicate themselves? Their prompts? Their training sets? Their users or user data?

To be honest, Windsurf doesn't work like half of the time, so it's more likely their users, the data, and their branding/marketing potential.
