to Japan* I think

That's coming from a Spanish speaker used to the alphabet, QUERTY, etc. I imagine you'd find it much more difficult if C were written in Chinese or Arabic, for instance.

Windsurf was acquired for $3B by OAI and it's clearly the worse of the two. Cursor is trying to raise at a $10B valuation and has $300MM in ARR in less than two years.

So in short, yes, companies do appear to be showing some willingness to send Cursor their code, even with all the headache associated with getting a new vendor.

If Google doesn't do this, people will slowly (or even quickly, who knows?) move to Perplexity, ChatGPT, etc. I know I personally would abandon Google entirely if it didn't summarize results and help me avoid the SEO slopfest.

What's the $ per seat?

What do you recommend?

For Japanese specifically? Try starting with https://refold.la/how-to-learn-japanese/ . (There are various people promoting similar methods, but Refold are probably by far the most pleasant and professional option.) And in general https://refold.la/get-started/ and the Refold discords are usually a good starting point. For languages which have Muzzy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzy_in_Gondoland translations I'd honestly just start by watching Muzzy in Gondoland maybe thirty or forty times, then moving on to Muzzy Comes Back, before worrying about any other resources or methods. Spanish is unusually well provided for, with Dreaming Spanish https://www.dreamingspanish.com/ and also Destinos https://www.learner.org/series/destinos-an-introduction-to-s... .

It's literally a free, ad-free app. If it were a website, I guarantee you HN would lambast it saying they could vibe-code it in 1 hour, it's not open sourced, etc. It's never enough for the naysayers.

Why did you settle on ChatGPT and Grok? I paid annual for Claude and have Perplexity Pro via a promo but if I were to pick two, I think I'd personally settle for ChatGPT and Gemini right now.

I started with ChatGPT. I had tried Grok early on and it was very good. I might drop it if 3.5 does not impress and replace it with Gemini.

I do really like the Deep Search on Grok for doing web search and analysis. It is saving me a ton of time.

Not to mention she swam in untreated water in the Amazon!!
