What they can do further and venture into next is to provide a CLI environment, similar to the command-line interface environment that Cursor offers. It allows for running a cursor agent from the command line to make changes, review pull requests, or access certain other capabilities. These capabilities are currently not in Windsurf. Windsurf focuses on the productivity and the ID/editor part. I would rather look for the inclusion of pull request reviews or a kind of a TRD or technical requirement general documentation generation, or system diagram generation directly from the codebase in Windsurf itself. These should be the next obvious features they launch for developers. In our team, there are certain people who use Windsurf regularly and appreciate using it. However, it is not a collaborative tool where someone is going to use the same tool and interact in the same IDE. Everyone does their local development, pushes it to different Git branches, someone reviews the PR, and then merges the branch. It is very localized in that sense.
An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. IDEs increase productivity by offering tools such as a source code editor, build automation, and a debugger.
IDEs streamline the development lifecycle by providing a suite of functionalities that only need one installation package. By integrating numerous development tools into one platform, developers reduce the overhead of...
