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.

New developers and AI agents can become productive more quickly on client projects, which helps reduce the cost-to-deliver 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.

Speed and high quality responses with Anthropic models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Actually.... just pricing of 3rd party models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Windsurf combines AI assistance with a powerful coding environment. It understands the full project context, helps with multi-file edits, and speeds up development by reducing repetitive tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some AI suggestions can also be contextually off, requiring manual review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the approach where they are not just giving you a chatbox like cursor. It feels way less clustered Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Writing in an IDE which is so immature is hard. It does not have a lot of extensions which you can easily get in VS, cursor or Pycharm Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
