"I love it, this is my daily driver for coding."
What do you like best about Windsurf?

1)Unlimited autocomplete in free plan as well as SWE-1 in free plan it helps a lot in developing.

2)SWE-1 has very accurate code for my use case which is mostly backend and creating UI and stuff in react.

3)The code written by cascade is auto applied without accepting or saving code so developer can just test if it works then they can accept it, It's beautiful.

4)The windsurf browser it's wow man, how it selects div , gets logs insane helpful in frontend development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windsurf?

SWE-1 has very slow response time I just have to wait a long. One more thing the cascade terminal has a lot of bug it should be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nice tool for coding and handling development-related tasks with AI help like no other"
What do you like best about Windsurf?

The AI assistance feature is the best thing about Windsurf and truly surpasses any other AI IDE tool that I have used to far. It is intelligent enough to understand your codebase, folder structure, intentions and will even guide you with troubleshooting and etc. You just open it up and select your desired model and you're good to go. Whenever we'd have issues with outages or the rest of the app their customer support was always really quick to help and troubleshoot the issue. I use this IDE everyday for my coding tasks and it is truly a gamechanger for productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windsurf?

Sometimes the AI chat window/pane can be sluggish and laggy when a certain very long response would be created - it used to happen in the past and no longer happens anymore, so the team has probably already fixed it. Dependency on external AI models can sometimes be dangerous in cases when OpenAI or Anthropic are facing outages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and intelligent IDE for modern development"
What do you like best about Windsurf?

The AI-assisted code suggestions and real-time explanations are incredibly helpful. It’s lightweight compared to traditional IDEs, has a clean interface, and improves productivity by reducing repetitive tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windsurf?

Since it’s relatively new, the plugin ecosystem and community support are not as extensive as older IDEs. Occasionally, the AI suggestions can be off-target, requiring manual adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smarter than cursor but less polished"
What do you like best about Windsurf?

I like the approach where they are not just giving you a chatbox like cursor. It feels way less clustered Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windsurf?

Writing in an IDE which is so immature is hard. It does not have a lot of extensions which you can easily get in VS, cursor or Pycharm Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great free tool for writing codes efficiently."
What do you like best about Windsurf?

I like the code autocompletion feature the most because it is amrt and fast. It is very useful when doing tedious work in projects or big size ones. also the code completion is very fast compared to its rivals like copilot. Besides, it is easy to use as it can be integrated with different IDEs such as Visual Studio Code or JetBrains without any issues. The best thing is that it is free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windsurf?

Although Codeium is very powerfull but its a little behind from other tools in terms of the dept of code and some other features like workflow automations, code customization and support to multiple code testing libraries these features can come really handy especially in big projects.

"Unreliable Service and Poor Customer Support"
What do you like best about Windsurf?

It used to work well before, but then everything fall apart and every request is full of error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windsurf?

I had a terrible experience with Codeium. They charged me $100 without my consent and then stopped providing the promised features without any explanation. When I reached out to dispute the charge and seek clarification, they completely ghosted me. There was no response to my emails, and I felt completely ignored as a customer.

This lack of communication and accountability is unacceptable. I would strongly advise others to avoid using Codeium. There are far better and more reliable alternatives out there that actually value their customers. Save yourself the frustration and money—this company is not worth it.

"Game Changer"
What do you like best about Windsurf?

I've been using Codeium for a while now, and it has quickly become an indispensable tool in my development workflow. The AI code completion feature is incredibly intuitive and speeds up my coding process significantly. It suggests accurate and context-aware code snippets that not only save time but also help me discover more efficient ways to write my code.

The chat feature is another standout aspect, providing quick assistance and clarifications when needed. It's like having a coding partner ready to help at all times. What's even better is that Codeium offers this for free, making it accessible to developers at any level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windsurf?

I wish the Intellij Plugin was a little less buggy at certain times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
