Windsurf

Windsurf (now transitioning to the Devin Desktop brand) has established itself as one of the more capable AI-native IDEs, combining a full-featured code editor with genuinely useful agentic features like Supercomplete, Fast Context retrieval, and a multi-agent Kanban-style command center for running and reviewing parallel coding agents. It benefits from Cognition's broader agent research and a large existing user base (over a million developers), and the free tier with access to a fast proprietary model makes it easy to try before committing to paid plans. The rebrand introduces some naming confusion, and as with any agent-heavy workflow, real-world reliability depends on how well the underlying models handle complex, long-running tasks, but as an editor-plus-agent-fleet tool it's a strong, actively evolving choice for teams scaling up AI-assisted development.
