Windsurf
Windsurf (now Devin Desktop) by Codeium supports 40+ IDEs and is the only AI coding IDE with real JetBrains integration. Cascade/Devin Local for autonomous multi-file tasks, Devin Cloud for fully autonomous execution.
What is Windsurf?
Windsurf (officially "Devin Desktop" since June 2026) is an AI-native development environment by Codeium. Its core advantage: Windsurf supports over 40 IDEs — the only tool of its kind to include IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, Vim, and Neovim. For JetBrains users, Windsurf is the clear first choice among AI coding assistants in 2026.
Windsurf in our review: Strengths and weaknesses
Windsurf's agent mode (Cascade, replaced by Devin Local from July 2026) reads the entire repository, tracks changes across sessions, and executes multi-step tasks autonomously. The Devin Cloud integration allows local tasks to be handed off to a cloud agent that independently debugs, tests, and deploys. The "Spaces" team feature coordinates multiple agent sessions in a kanban view. Weaknesses: for VS Code solo developers, Cursor has a slight edge in raw code quality.
Pricing and plans
Windsurf offers a generous free tier with unlimited tab completion (SWE-1.6 Fast, no quota usage). Pro costs $20/month, Teams $40/user. The Max plan ($200/month) provides the highest quota across all models for power users and autonomous agent workloads.
Who is Windsurf for?
Windsurf is the first choice for JetBrains, Vim, and Emacs users as well as development teams that want to coordinate multiple AI agents. For VS Code solo developers, Cursor offers slightly higher code quality. Any developer using IntelliJ, PyCharm, or WebStorm who wants serious AI assistance should start with Windsurf.
