Does anyone actually use Windsurf? I know a ton of people on Cursor, Cline, Roo, Claude Code... but zero people in my engineering circles have even mentioned trying Windsurf.

For me it was substantially better than Cursor. Their RAG/code indexing/whatever implementation is better (Cursor seems to completely fall apart on larger codebases, unless you keep a very detailed cursorrules file). The cmd+tab was also substantially better. Plus it's cheaper than using Cline.

But with all this changing of hands, I'm not sure I can trust it going forward at all, so I guess it's back to looking for alternatives.
