Windsurf: user-reported slowness vs multi-file edit workflow
Developers report Windsurf sessions stalling for nearly an hour and missing features (e.g., image input on some models), eroding confidence in day-to-day use [Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/windsurf/comments/1qvn8l7/done_with_windsurf_it_used_to_be_my_daily_driver/)[^1]. If you still pilot it, center usage on the documented multi-file edit flow that coordinates atomic cross-file refactors with previews and rollback, noting prerequisites (Windsurf IDE, Cascade AI, .windsurf directory, Git) [SkillKit guide](https://skillkit.io/zh/skills/claude-code/windsurf-multi-file-editing)[^2]. [^1]: Adds: user-reported reliability issues (slowness, hangs, missing image support) and perceived drop in responsiveness from the team. [^2]: Adds: concrete workflow for coordinated multi-file edits with atomic changes, preview, rollback, and required setup.
