Most devs I know moved to Cursor or Codex. But I still see Windsurf mentioned here and there.

I get why someone might stick with it — JetBrains support, slightly cheaper, decent on large codebases. But after the Cognition acquisition I wasn't sure it had a future.

So genuinely curious, are you still on Windsurf? What's keeping you there? And has anything made you regret not switching?

Isn't windsurf now antigravity? because i still used antigravity for a while this year because of how the agent can natively try to test web pages using chrome which helps it find UI bugs,but i use mostly claude code now though

I think Windsurf is to Antigravity as Atom was to VSCode

The team behind Windsurf was acquired by Google, but Windsurf remains its own independent IDE somehow.

Just checked again, still looks like it's called Windsurf to me.
