The Windsurf Editor - The first agentic IDE that merges AI agents and co-pilots

Honestly it is amazing and 10 times better than Cursor.

I subscribed just to come here and say GOODJOB. This is the real ai code editor the world was looking for. This is actually a product i want to pay for. You can just reason with your code and the agents really does everything for you. It's not a no brainer product, you still need to know your s**t, but its like having interns writing code for you!

big fan of codeium. always wondered why isn't something like windsurf not offered by them. well here we go..

The first thing I did when I started the IDE was to use cascade to build a personal portfolio. Communicating with cascade and letting it know what changes you would like was a breeze. Cascade first built the portfolio using ReactJS, I asked it to rebuild that portfolio using the latest version of NextJS instead. It provided me with a command that included Tailwind, but I didn't want Tailwind installed so I rejected the command and it built the NextJS file structure from scratch and added the required dependencies. I asked it to add illustrations, gradient background, icons for the different skills and it did so with ease. I also requested that it ensure that the portfolio meets AA accessibility standards and voila that was added. Lastly, I asked that it add a blog page that would display a list of blogs and that it should create a blog describing our experience building the portfolio together. I was amazed at the lengthy blog post that it generated. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. If I had to add a feature to Cascade that would be the ability to edit the commands that it presents to us.

Windsurf is user friendly. I've been using Codeium for a long time as a VSCode extension. The transition from VS Code to Windsurf is very smooth, all my settings and extensions transferred with a single click and execution speed is also very good. The Cascade write/chat modes are interacting like a human and making the coding experience remarkably lifelike and engaging!

I love that Windsurf is lightweight and unlike PyCharm and VScode it doesn't freeze my old laptop with only 4GB of RAM. With Cascade I finished editing a project in 20 minutes (it would take me several weeks). It's like having an employee that writes code and fixes bugs.

Windsurf is already making waves among my colleagues and truly feels like the next natural step in the developer workflow. It’s incredibly promising—I’m rooting for the team behind it :)

Tried it yesterday on Linux (i use Arch, btw) and it works like a charm. Windsurf doesn't seem to have any rate limits when using Sonnet 3.5 with Cascade, which is great, and the full contextual awareness of the project is awesome. Only thing missing for me personally is the option to explicitly reference the documentation of a certain library (which would've saved me some time debugging) or framework, add a new documentation of a recently published project or scrape something from the web (or i'm missing how i would do that). But so far Windsurf is great to use. I recommend giving it a try and i could see myself ditching my Cline/Continue/VsCode setup in the future for this.

Hi, Its a great product and truly impressed with its capabilities. Suddenly having a issue An error occurred while loading view: windsurf.chatPanelView. Please sort that so I can continue to evaluate the product

Simply incredible - decided to switch from co-pilot the first time I interacted with Cascade
