    If you already have technical knowledge and understanding of coding, Windsurf could be a valuable platform to debug and rewrite code. It was helpful to me to expand coding, since I am not a traditionally programmer. I was able to enhance my base code and functionality much quicker than manually trying.

    We are implementing React Native framework for the development of the Front-End for the machine learning models maintenance and monitoring website. It provides meaningful error messages, and time-saving and robust tools make it a premium choice over other platforms. Moreover, it provides intelligent debugging tools and error report mechanisms. And most importantly for us, it provides the aesthetic minimal functionality to learn in order to implement it, thereby eliminating the need to work in Xcode or Android Studio for iOS or Android apps respectively.

    • sometime we need external repos to develop an feature
    • external application may break the performance of the application while integrating with the React Native.
    • external database connectivity can be handle better while we are implementing server-client validations.

    Windsurf is a good tool for developers with more than basic coding skills. I would recommend it as a tool to quickly mitigate coding errors and issues. I did not take a deeper dive into the integrated extensions, but the library of extensions appear to be solid. An experience developer could quickly launch this platform, scan and test coding, and resolve issues quickly. I did not test this for larger code sets.

    React Native uses JavaScript in the frontend and hooks and functions in the backend to connect the database to the real-time application. It also does not need any external support for multilevel configuration for different platforms. In terms of usability, it perfectly holds the front-end and backend development with some external configuration if we require it in our business. Sometimes it requires more configurations and pathways to build a certain level of functionality for the end users, but every technology has a tough phase where a certain concept get lack of visibilty to the users.

    Windsurf would be more comparable to GitHub Copilot or Perplexity to me. I think it's more of a pure code debugging line by line than some of the other tools listed above, however, they all have some capabilities to rewrite and test new coding. It boils down to what toolset you are most comfortable with. I typically will work with two platforms with the same issue to see how it is approached and the differences.

    Compared with Angular and Vue, Reactive Native doesn't have a steep learning curve, considering it is a complete solution, and mastering Angular and Vue requires one to learn associated concepts like TypeScript and MVC. In React, the same code base may be implemented for creating a UI element and dictating its behavior, thereby eliminating the over-engineering procedures and following programming paradigms like KISS, DRY and SOLID.
