basically it is using the dewin 1.5 version which is properly based on the coding work and mostly I used it for coding changes and put the things to develop the things easily it is similar to vscode but most powerful version to see the previous one as well as always ask do accept or reject the changes as other coding assistant just implemented not confirm the changes but it is confirming on which files what is changing
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Asking about the files changes like your will accept the changes if I think in code it will not working I can reject it otherwise I will reverse the complete code so best part is it from my end
What do you dislike most about this product?
nothing best code editor for coding person it helps. to faster the process
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Best code assistant and extension as well as software provider like vscode where you can put the prd it will do complete things but taking time but it will cover the 50-60 percent of your work of starting structure in it
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity

Great assistant, not a replacement.

What differentiates Devin Desktop from other similar products?
Windsurf feels like a real coding partner not just an autocomplete tool. Unlike many editors that only react line by line it understands the entire context of project. It can reason across files, follow architecture pattern and make changes that actually fit with codebase instead of dumping generic snippets.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It understand how different files, functions and dependencies connect. That means when i ask it to refactor, fix a bug or add a feature the change usually make sense in the context of the whole codebase.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I dislike most about it is that it can occasionally feel a bit heavy on system resources especially on large projects. When working with a big codebase the AI features can sometimes slow things down or introduce slight latency which breaks the flow if i used to a very lightweight editor.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Try windsurf editor on a real project not just demos. Use it to understand and refactor code always review changes with tests and treat it as a smart coding partner not a replacement for own judgement.
Pros
- Unique Features
- Effective Service
- Client Friendly Policies
- Fair
