Windsurf

An agent-forward editor with a clean flow for multi-file changes. It moves quickly and the team ships, but it is still finding the line between helpful autonomy and surprising autonomy.

How I tested it

I ran Windsurf on macOS, version 1.10, across two weeks of ordinary project work — the refactors, the migrations, the test coverage. Not a benchmark harness; the real, unglamorous middle of building something. Last retested 12 days ago, and the notes below come from that run.

Where it lands

The honest read after that stretch is in the verdict and the rating, both of which I revisit on every retest. When either moves, the changelog says why. Nothing here is a one-time score.

Verdict

Not a daily driver yet, but moving in the right direction. Worth watching, and worth a retest next quarter.
