> Copilot is like a barely better intellisense/auto-complete

As I have never tried Claude Code, I can't say how much better it is. But Copilot is definitely more then auto-complete. Like I already wrote, it can do Planning mode, edit mode, mcp, tool calling, web searches.

Yeah, same. I have never tried Claude Code but use Claude through the Copilot plugin, and it's NOT auto-complete. It can analyze and refactor code, write new code, etc.

I just feel like using Copilot would be like early car designers trying to steer their new car with reins.

Have you used it recently?

Or any specific that caused this feeling

Nope, haven't tried recently because the cli tools were so much better and more powerful I haven't felt like there's a reason to ever go back.

Odd to be so confident and outspoken about a product you have not used in a while.

I haven't used it because there's been absolutely no reason to even try again. I jumped on copilot when it first came out. I had a personal account and they got us subscriptions at work. It was the first LLM/AI tool I dropped. It was around 2 months ago they dropped our subscriptions at work too.

I only have an IDE open these days to review, maybe update a config or parameter on occasion.
