About Windsurf

Windsurf remains a useful published search term, but the current product identity in GetAISet’s verified comparison is Devin Desktop. The successor keeps an IDE foundation while shifting the workflow toward planning, delegating, and reviewing work across local and cloud coding agents from one command center. Existing Windsurf users should evaluate the transition and current product direction rather than relying on older editor-only descriptions; teams seeking a stable AI-first editor identity may prefer a direct comparison with Cursor.
