How does the current state of Cursor agentic workflow compare to Windsurf Editor?
I've been using Windsurf since it was released, and back then, it was so ahead of Cursor it's not even funny. Windsurf feels like it's trained on good programming practices (check usage of the function in other parts of the project for consistency, double checking for errors after changes made, etc). It's also surprisingly fast (it can "search" the 5k files codebase in, like, 2 seconds. It even asked me once to copy and paste output from Chrome DevTools because it suspected that my interpretation of the result was not accurate (and it was right).
The only thing I truly wish is to have the same experience with locally running models. Perhaps Mac Studio 512GB will deliver :)
- jjude 2y agoI too liked windsurf better than cursor until ... I asked it to refactor an authenticatedfetch block of code. It went on a loop exhausting 15 credits (https://bsky.app/profile/jjude.com/post/3ljuhrxs3442k https://bsky.app/profile/jjude.com/post/3ljuhrxs3442k).

- divan 2y agoIt's a fixed price of 10$ per month with 500/1500 credits for "premium models" (claude/etc), and unlimited for their own base model.
- divan 2y agoTo be honest, I switched from Cursor to Windsurf precisely because of how much less of a credits it uses. Even using daily, I couldn't even remotely hit the limits of the credits in Windsurf. Well, initially they didn't even show how many credits I'm using :), now it's more visible, but still for 10$ per month I still can't hit the limits and I'm not restricting myself (not abusing either).
