What I like most about Windsurf is how simple it is to use while still speeding up development by making both coding and debugging easier. Getting started is fairly quick, and it doesn’t take much effort to set up within my development workflow. I use it regularly during development, which helps me stay productive and keep tasks organized. It also includes a lot of useful features that make the overall coding and debugging process smoother. I haven’t needed customer support very often, but when I do, the available resources are helpful. On top of that, it works well with different development tools, so integrating it into an existing workflow is straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Windsurf is that it can take a little time to fully understand all the features when starting out. Sometimes the interface can feel a bit overwhelming, and certain advanced options are not very intuitive. It would be better if the documentation and guidance for new users were a bit clearer.

It's stands out for its smooth performance and intuitive user experience. It simplifies complex workflows, offers smart automation features, and helps developers work more efficiently with less manual effort. The tool integrates well into existing development setups and noticeably improves productivity and code quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Windsurf is powerful, there can be a learning curve when first exploring its advanced features. Some areas could benefit from clearer documentation and more customization options to better adapt to different development workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Windsurf for its seamless integration with multiple AI code assistants within a single editor, allowing me to effortlessly switch between them. This flexibility is incredibly valuable as it enables me to use different agents tailored to specific tasks, such as using ChatGPT for text writing and Sonnet for coding. The platform is well-integrated with these assistants, enhancing my workflow efficiency. I particularly like the ability to switch to low credit assistants for simple tasks, which helps me manage costs effectively while maintaining productivity. The quick code suggestions feature is another highlight, offering immediate support and ideas, thus speeding up my coding process. Additionally, I admire how Windsurf's AI integration surpasses that of Visual Studio Code, which was a significant factor in choosing Windsurf as my preferred tool.

I am concerned about the pricing of Windsurf, particularly after Sonnet became more expensive. I feel it would be beneficial if the pricing could be lowered to make it more affordable, especially since I rely on low credit assistants for simple tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the ability to switch between agents in Windsurf, as they are often updated, allowing me to choose the best one currently on the market. It's really helpful to be able to select different agents for different tasks without having to change my AI subscriptions. The better integration with agents compared to VSCode was a key reason for switching. I found the initial setup very easy, just needing to install and log in.

Sometimes agents make mistakes and are unable to edit code. For example, Gemini 3 Pro currently occasionally fails and asks me what to do, so I have to reply and spend twice the credits on the task which should have already been solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1)Unlimited autocomplete in free plan as well as SWE-1 in free plan it helps a lot in developing.

2)SWE-1 has very accurate code for my use case which is mostly backend and creating UI and stuff in react.

3)The code written by cascade is auto applied without accepting or saving code so developer can just test if it works then they can accept it, It's beautiful.

4)The windsurf browser it's wow man, how it selects div , gets logs insane helpful in frontend development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SWE-1 has very slow response time I just have to wait a long. One more thing the cascade terminal has a lot of bug it should be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how approachable and beginner friendly Windsurf is. The instructions are clear, the equipment is high quality and comfortable, with all possible available options of AI to switch between using ctrl + l shortcut command make it very easy for me to code in windsurf IDE.

Sometimes the wait times for windsurf can be a little long and frustrating for very small small things and also it is making mistakes sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI assistance feature is the best thing about Windsurf and truly surpasses any other AI IDE tool that I have used to far. It is intelligent enough to understand your codebase, folder structure, intentions and will even guide you with troubleshooting and etc. You just open it up and select your desired model and you're good to go. Whenever we'd have issues with outages or the rest of the app their customer support was always really quick to help and troubleshoot the issue. I use this IDE everyday for my coding tasks and it is truly a gamechanger for productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the AI chat window/pane can be sluggish and laggy when a certain very long response would be created - it used to happen in the past and no longer happens anymore, so the team has probably already fixed it. Dependency on external AI models can sometimes be dangerous in cases when OpenAI or Anthropic are facing outages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Windsurf is how easy it makes project and task management. The interface is intuitive, collaboration features are solid, and tracking progress across teams is simple and clear. It helps me in coding as I am a backend developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Windsurf is great overall, but switching between projects or managing very large boards could be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI-assisted code suggestions and real-time explanations are incredibly helpful. It’s lightweight compared to traditional IDEs, has a clean interface, and improves productivity by reducing repetitive tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since it’s relatively new, the plugin ecosystem and community support are not as extensive as older IDEs. Occasionally, the AI suggestions can be off-target, requiring manual adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Windsurf more than Cursor because it feels closer to VS Code. The UI and workflow were familiar, so the migration was much easier for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I don’t like is that when the context gets too full, the AI starts lagging and acting buggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
