Best Devin alternatives

[Formerly Windsurf] Devin AI is Cognition's agent-first IDE—managing local and cloud coding agents on the same desktop. After acquiring Windsurf in July 2025, it integrated Windsurf's local editor strengths, launched a proprietary SWE model series optimized for long tasks, and built ultra-fast code maps into the IDE.
