About Windsurf
Windsurf, now known as Devin Desktop, is an AI-native code editor built by Cognition (formerly Codeium) that deeply integrates AI into the development workflow. It features an agentic AI system called Cascade, which understands entire codebases, performs multi-file edits, executes terminal commands, and maintains context across sessions, acting as a proactive partner for developers.
Why We Scored It 4/10
4/10
Windsurf's market position is declining due to a collapsed acquisition deal and subsequent rebranding under Cognition. Its low Trustpilot rating and significant market turbulence suggest major issues and declining relevance as a standalone product.
