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
reply▲I think Windsurf is to Antigravity as Atom was to VSCode
reply▲Wait, they rebranded to Antigravity? I had no idea.
reply▲The team behind Windsurf was acquired by Google, but Windsurf remains its own independent IDE somehow.
reply▲Just checked again, still looks like it's called Windsurf to me.
