Windsurf

Windsurf is a standalone editor built on VS Code, with an agent called Cascade that edits across files and runs tasks while you keep working. Unlimited tab autocomplete on every plan, including free, makes it an easy trial for anyone wanting a Cursor-style experience. The tradeoff is that its March 2026 switch from credits to daily and weekly quotas can throttle heavy agent sessions, and the company has been through ownership turmoil that unsettled some users.
