Windsurf#13
Codeium's agentic code editor featuring Cascade flow for synchronized real-time multi-file editing.
Windsurf bridges the gap between passive code completion and full-blown agentic delegation. Built around 'Cascade', its context engine stays synchronized with developer edits, terminal outputs, and open tabs in real-time, executing multi-step refactorings with minimal friction at an accessible $15/mo price point.
