With Cline + Gemini 2.5 Pro, one can get the exact same feature set that Cursor and Windsurf provide. They only call the APIs of the big LLM Providers without an advanced secret sauce.

It‘s even the opposite - they worsen model performance by limiting context size. The key advantage, the fixed monthly costs instead of variable API usage, is now gone with Gemini 2.5 Pro…

What is left that justifies their ridiculous valuation atm?

I think it really makes sense to use Gemini. It is COMPLETELY free. No variable costs for now. I experienced comparable performance to Claude 3.5/3.7.
