Windsurf is an AI-native IDE from Codeium, built as a direct competitor to Cursor. Its standout feature is Cascade - an agentic mode that reads your codebase, plans changes across multiple files, and executes them step by step with a diff preview. It supports Claude, GPT, and Codeium's own models. The free tier is more generous than Cursor's, making it accessible for individual developers. Windsurf excels at multi-file refactors and has strong context awareness across large codebases. It's VS Code-compatible, so extensions and keybindings carry over seamlessly.
