The Editor Is Now a Host (opens in new tab)

Cognition killed Windsurf overnight via an over-the-air update, rebranded it Devin Desktop, made the default UI an agent command center instead of a code editor, and shipped an open Agent Client Protocol so Codex, Claude, and OpenCode can all run inside it. The bet underneath: the IDE wins by being the place agents report for work, not by having the best autocomplete. The editor was always the wrong center of gravity.
