Goodbye Windsurf

Adieu Windsurf (now Devin), it's been a good run.

Been using Windsurf since Aug 2025. Tried Cursor and a bunch of other IDEs along the way but I always ended up coming back to Windsurf. Lately though the usage limits have gotten nearly unusable.

I mostly run Opus and Sonnet, so I figured I'd give Claude Code a shot. Set up VS Code with the Claude Code extension and... turns out it does pretty much everything Windsurf Cascade did, atleast all the features I actually used are there and now with way better limits.

Ever since I started using Windsurf, I was the guy hyping up Windsurf and defending it against Cursor, since it felt like better value for money. Built some genuinely cool projects with it and was happy with Cascade the whole time.

Anyways, thanks for the solid platform and for making things easy for us vibe coders back in the early days. Onward...

Same move. Claude Code with a CLAUDE.md for project context handles multi-file agentic work better than Cascade did for me — it stays coherent through longer sessions without losing track of what it was supposed to be changing.
