Adoption
4 medium confidenceThe Devin Desktop (Windsurf) page reports "1M+ Users" and "4000+ Enterprise Customers", which places it in the 1-10M band, and Cognition-reported Windsurf ARR of about $82M corroborates commercial scale. The user total is a vendor headline with no period attached, so it is not an active count and the level rests on reported traction rather than a counted active-user figure.
