Switched from JetBrains AI Assistant. Windsurf's deeper code analysis wins.

Just made the switch last week. JetBrains AI was great for inline suggestions, but Windsurf's understanding of my actual git context feels like a different league. It's not just about the current file.

For example, I was refactoring an old GitHub Actions workflow. Windsurf pulled in the related `.github/pull_request_template.md` and suggested updates based on our new branch naming convention. It's like having a pair that's already reviewed the last 10 PRs.

```yaml
# It caught that our 'main' branch protection required this specific job name.
name: 'Terraform Plan'
# Suggested this change based on other workflows in the repo.
if: github.event_name == 'pull_request' && github.base_ref == 'main'
```

Anyone else using it with Argo CD or similar? Curious how its analysis handles Kustomize overlays or Helm values files across directories.

git push and pray
