Recently moved to Windsurf from vscode, Microsoft keeps degrading copilot AI, and I am finding it’s ‘filters’ their agent is using (for all llms) are now so limiting it’s almost unusable due to the tweaks they have made causing code to be terrible and more mistakes than for instance the same instructions with same LLM’s in Windsurf.
Just touching base what people are using as I’ve found Windsurf is not only 1/4 of the price for the same code ,but the output in cfscript/lucee 7 a lot cleaner.
If you are looking to get/pay for Windsurf, you can also use this link to get 250 extra requests if you decide to subscribe to pro (which i did)… #enjoy
The new llm comparisons they released recently also allow devs to compare two llms with the same task to compare how they work for particular tasks.
Windsurf seem to have a lot more LLM’s lately also.
I’m really loving the way windsurf IDE works (based on Monaro like vscode) but their approach and UI is much better than vscode.
What are people finding with IDE’s is great for coding agents?
Mainly using Claude Sonnet 4.5 (thinking code) , chatGPT 5.2 medium (for docs) and Kimi K 2.5 (scafolding and repetitive code) atm…
what are people using this month (as this seems to change each month)
