The honest take

The AI-native IDE now folded into Cognition's Devin — rebranded "Devin Desktop" in June 2026, running the same agents that write, test, and ship code.

Best for: Developers who want Devin's autonomous coding agent paired with a full IDE, not just a chat sidebar

Where it falls short: The Windsurf brand is being retired for "Devin Desktop," which makes it a confusing, moving target to evaluate and shop for right now

Should you pay for it?

The free tier of Windsurf is good enough for casual use. Pay $20 only when you start hitting daily caps or need access to the better models.
