Review Windsurf?
Reviewers mostly say Windsurf speeds up real coding work, especially through Cascade, strong codebase context, fast autocomplete, debugging help, test writing, and refactoring support. Several compare it favorably with Cursor or Copilot for accuracy, flow, and turning prompts into working changes with less friction. A few makers, including the team behind Snaply, say they used it as a main editor, especially for rapid shipping or frontend work. The main complaints are reliability on complex tasks, broken consistency across larger projects, connection issues, and weak customer support.

I'm a beginner, learning python in the VScode IDE.
Before Codeium I would have to Google and trawl through multiple stack overflow or random python websites to find similar solutions to my problem.
Now I ask Codeium chat to help me frame out my task, then give me examples, then give me an opinion on which library would be best, then explain what a method is doing...and it never ever gets fed up and tells me to go and Google it, never!!!
One of the best features I've been enjoying is the supernatural code completion.
The last project I was working on used tkinter for a gui.
Codeium's example just had the basic code to show the window. Once I had it running I thought to myself, i really need a label to remind myself what to do, I made some white space in the window generating code section to write a new comment and code complete gave me an example of resizing the gui window (automatically)...I thought...yes I do need that too, so pressed tab to complete it..took a new line and it gave me example code for a label..It was a magical moment!!!
Truly game changing software, thank you for making it so convenient to learn!
What's great

Windsurf makes mobile UI feel delightful and snappy with out-of-the-box smooth animations and transitions. We picked it over heavier libraries because it’s lightweight, well-documented, and designed for mobile-first experiences - exactly what TripTok needed.
Windsurf is amazing. It's our go to code editor and is amazing to use to help us build out new features and fix bugs in our application! Its especially amazing to use with Claude!
Windsurf anticipates what developers need. FetchAI does the same for writing: instant suggestions, personalized tone, and zero friction. Tomorrow’s writing assistant, today.
