What Windsurf actually is
Windsurf is the editor; Cascade is the agent inside it. Cascade has full repo awareness through Codeium’s indexer, can run terminal commands, and is designed around what Codeium calls “flows” — it watches what you do and stays collaborative instead of waiting for a fresh prompt each turn. Underneath, it routes to frontier models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) plus Codeium’s own SWE-1 family.
Installing
Greenfield features and non-trivial refactors where you want one tool that plans, edits, and runs commands with good codebase awareness. The flow-style UI is genuinely more ergonomic than bouncing between a chat panel and files, and the autocomplete is best-in-class on large repos thanks to the indexer.
A first session
If you are deeply wired into JetBrains shortcuts, switching editors for an agent is a big ask — Continue or the JetBrains AI Assistant are saner choices. Same if your company forbids a second editor install. And for scripted, headless agent work (CI, bots), a CLI like Aider or OpenCode fits better than an editor-bound tool.
