Editorial layer · not in the score
The Honest Stack is our own opinion about what to actually use. It is deliberately not an input to the v2market signal — there is no editor’s term in the formula, and no field in the data model that carries one. Read it as a second, human opinion beside the number, never as part of it.
Windsurf is now Devin Desktop (Cognition). Free tier with light quota; Pro $20/mo; Max $200/mo; Teams $80/mo base + $40/seat; overages at API rates.
Daily net of anonymous better/same/worse votes. Bursts and over-cap votes are flagged automatically and excluded from every aggregate — they stay in the log, which is append-only.

Windsurf becomes Devin Desktop; Cascade retires
Cognition folds the editor into the Devin brand via an over-the-air update: the default view is now an Agent Command Center, Cascade reaches end-of-life July 1, and a Rust-rewritten Devin Local (~30% more token-efficient) replaces it. The rebrand also ships the open Agent Client Protocol, letting rival agents run first-class in the IDE.
