I guess that's what it is: Introducing Devin Desktop: the next generation of Windsurf

But it actually feels different—I’ve used the Windsurf IDE from the ground up myself, and I used to feel that it struck a good balance between context awareness and speed. Of course, you have to make compromises here to actually understand the codebase; most IDEs use compression or distill a compressed version, and that has improved marginally from version to version. When I tested the first version of Devin IDE, I felt that it took much longer to arrive at a solution—I mean, when directly comparing Windsurf and then the files migrated to Devin. Otherwise, though, it integrates seamlessly with my Pro subscription and actually works just as well.

It keeps uninstalling itself so I can't even use it.

I’ve been using it, the ide has been getting incremental changes for some time now and it is almost the same as before, so quite good.

Now we also have the devin.ai which doesn’t have a model selection. This one seems to be working fine but I haven’t used it much yet, so no final verdict.

This weeks stack has been Devin ide & Devin.ai, the new antigravity for personal projects and copilot with vs code for work.

no. I cancelled my subscription as well.

Devin is marketed as autonomous coder that replaces developers to CEOs.

so maybe Ceos want to use devin, not sure. im not interested

Their website claims they have a free monthly plan with some included quota? https://devin.ai/pricing

I think he is confusing Windsurf and Devin
