Overview

Windsurf (formerly Codeium's editor) is an agentic IDE designed around uninterrupted flow. Its Cascade agent maintains a running understanding of your project (files, edits, and terminal) so it can carry out multi-step tasks with minimal hand-holding. Free-tier completions remain generous, making it an accessible on-ramp to agentic coding.

Enki verdict

A strong, more affordable rival to Cursor, especially compelling if the free tier covers your needs.
