About Windsurf
Windsurf, now rebranded as Devin Desktop, is an AI-first code editor built on a VS Code fork, designed for AI-assisted development. It features the Cascade agent, which can understand an entire codebase, execute multi-step tasks, and work across multiple files, along with real-time code suggestions, error detection, and terminal integration. The tool aims to streamline the development process by acting as a proactive AI collaborator, automating repetitive tasks and improving code quality.
Why We Scored It 7/10
7/10
Windsurf's acquisition by Cognition AI for $250M in December 2025 and leader market position demonstrate strong validation, with innovative agentic AI capabilities and access to cutting-edge models. However, mixed user ratings (2.1/5 Trustpilot) and limited traffic data suggest execution challenges despite significant funding and technical potential.
