“Efficiency Improvements Observed, But Large Projects Cause Noticeable Slowdowns”
Overall experience has been great, have been using Windsurf for a couple of months now. The efficiency has increased tremendously after introducing it. There's still some room for refinement but worth 4 stars.

“Does it better than peers, but agentic coding isn't all there; in more ways than one.”
The concept is great. Execution falls somewhat flat because of the underlying issues with LLMs. Inability to consistently deliver good results. Struggles with large context for existing legacy systems. Homegrown agents deliver poorer results than general models.

Windsurf Likes & Dislikes
The intuitive interface is the best along with seamless collaboration features. It's super easy to onboard new users to the platform. Also, MCP integrations w/ existing tooling is amazing plus.
Automated workflows, persistent memories, and a good UI for engaging with code systems.
Supports multiple editors plus tools for previewing and deployment. Faster delivery and time savings, especially for boilerplate code.
At times, the performance slows down when working with larger projects due to large heap size consumption, which makes the entire agent slow.
Windsurf struggles with large context, tool calls failing repeatedly, and most importantly just outright ignoring instructions in the agent mode.
Some suggestions degrade over time or produce poor code that needs manual fixing and credits drain quickly and limits can interrupt workflow
