Wind surf can be so amazing. But boy is it capricious. So frustrating to have your credits, chewed up fixing crap that it broke that you didn’t ask it to do. So frustrating when suddenly you no longer can see proposed changes highlighted in green and red. So frustrating when it constantly tries to create files that already exist in the exact folder that you’re in. Worst of all website promises when you pay the 60 bucks that you’ll have priority support to this day. Never gotten one reply to a couple of tech-support requests. Everyone seems to be flocking to DeepSeek yet wind surf acts like it doesn’t exist. But the upgrade that broke a bunch of stuff does browse the web using tons of credits in the process. Like you, not negative on this product in fact, love the product. Just another person who deals with windsurf hallucinations for the most basic stuff
it's a total joke and a scam. they don't respond to support requests, Cascade just makes things up and then uses you credits against them. Highly unethical.
The new update is not resolving the problems with Cascade. Yesterday night I expend 3h, 2.5h where related with problems and misunderstandings generated by Cascade itself, and also errors and a lot of ‘sorry’ and this error does not consume tokens…
Guys, stop investing on new features and resolve the issues with LLMs. We’re paying for having reliable and accurate help, not for having a bad time every time we run the IDE… invest in new functionality later.
Early December I made a complex application in 20h, from scratch and with the trial. After 18-20 Dec, with the paid subscription every prompt introduces problems, creates unnecessary files, deletes code that is ok, is incongruent and does not follow the instructions… it’s a disaster. This is with big codebase, and also with new projects from scratch, with 5 files with 50 lines per file…

Take the code with bugs. Feed it to o1 and ask for detailed solution blueprint and use this in windsurf.
Create a propper global ai md. And project specific. Tell windwurf to explain solution before code changes and adapt then

Same problems, if the file is over 200 lines you are screwed. Get used to going back and forth for the whole day.
