Windsurf

Windsurf offers an AI-native IDE (the Windsurf Editor) designed to minimize context switching and boost developer productivity. Its Cascade agent deeply understands the entire codebase, integrates linters, lets you preview apps live, run terminal commands via natural language, fix lint errors automatically, and connect custom tools or services. Plugins are available to bring its AI workflow into multiple editors. Targeted for both individual developers and enterprise teams, Windsurf aims to streamline from idea to deploy without leaving the workspace.

Because Windsurf doesn’t just assist; it becomes part of your dev workflow. It maintains context, reduces friction, keeps you in flow, and brings tools and previews into an integrated space — helping developers and teams ship faster with fewer distractions and more continuity. Also powerful is that you can stay in your preferred editor via plugins or use the full Windsurf Editor if desired.

• Cascade: agentic AI that understands your full repo and workflow context.
• Autocomplete/tab completion (Tab Tab Tab) with deep context awareness.
• Windsurf Previews: see live previews of your app inside the editor and reshape elements visually.
• Terminal Command in natural language: issue terminal commands via natural phrasing (⌘+I etc.).
• Lint & rules auto-fixing: detect lint errors and auto-correct them.
• Custom plugins / tool integrations: connect tools + services (MCP) like Figma, Stripe, Slack etc.
• Plugin support across many editors (JetBrains IDEs, VS Code, Neovim, Vim, etc.) so you can bring Windsurf’s flow to your preferred tools.
• Deep codebase knowledge: search memories, maintain project context, curated docs to reduce hallucinations.
• Cross-platform Editor: available on macOS, Windows, Linux.
