GitHub Copilot in either VS Code or JetBrains IDEs. Having more or less the same experience across multiple tools is lovely and meets me where I am, instead of making me get a new tool.

The chat is okay, the autocomplete is also really pleasant for snippets and anything boilerplate heavy. The context awareness also helps. No advanced features like creating entirely new structures of files, though.

Of course, I’ll probably explore additional tools in the future, but for now LLMs are useful in my coding and also sometimes help me figure out what I should Google, because nowadays seemingly accurate search terms return trash.




yeah I am also getting the sense that people want tooling which meets them in their preferred environment.

Do you use any of the AI features which go for editing multiple files or doing a lot more in the same instruction?
