Devin Desktop vs Micro

Devin Desktop is a command center for managing local and cloud coding agents alongside a full IDE. Its editor includes syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and debugging tools; Spaces share context and Git worktrees across agents. Agent Client Protocol support is described as enabling work across models and agents, and users can review agent diffs before pushing. Integrations listed include Slack, Linear, Notion, Figma, Sentry, Stripe, Vercel, Datadog, and Atlassian, along with editor extensions and language servers. Devin CLI runs locally in a terminal. Downloads are offered for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with Mac builds for Apple Silicon and Intel and Windows builds for x64 and arm64. The Free plan costs nothing and has a light agent quota and limited model availability. Pro costs $20 a month and includes increased quotas and full model availability. Paid usage allowances refresh daily and weekly; extra usage can be purchased at API pricing. The company describes Devin Desktop as the new name for Windsurf, with existing IDE components and work carried over.

Micro supports language servers and remote development, and themes can use 16, 256 or truecolor; seven colorschemes are included by default. On Linux desktops, external clipboard access requires xclip or xsel for X11, or wl-clipboard for Wayland. Vim emulation and Vi keybindings are not provided.
