Our take
Pick Devin if engineers who will let an agent open PRs and will watch the quota. Pick Windsurf if software engineers who want an agent in a VS Code-like desktop and will accept Cognition’s routing. Skip Devin if people who want an IDE with Tab (Cursor, GitHub Copilot) and will not run Devin sessions. Skip Windsurf if non-developers, or teams that cannot send code to a third-party model API.
