It seems like copilot is making strides recently. With @workspace agent which in some ways is more appealing than your solution of @'ing every file we need. Copilot chat kind of figures out what it needs and gets it for you. They’re adding docs support shortly. They have gpt4. They have inline c…

it seems it’s already working :pray: [image]

You don’t need Github Copilot if you’re using Copilot++. Copilot++ suggests both autocompletes and edits. It is also smarter that Github Copilot at doing both jobs + fixes lint error automatically.

I have been using both for some time now, and from what I can observe, the issue with Copilot++ is that, unlike Github Copilot, it does not attempt to read other documents when they are open. This means that if I make changes in another document, Copilot++ will recognize those changes because it alw…

Nobody is going to take the time to learn the meaning of “workspace”. Also, Cursor has more control over the editor so it can get more creative. If people at Cursor are dogfooding their own products, their development cycle should be exponential at every feature release.

Do you guys know why Copilot still doesn’t provide full context of a Codespaces project when using Codespaces? I mean wasn’t the point of implementing Copilot on Codespaces (and not only in VS Code), to be fully contextual in an entire dev container project?

I used Cursor.sh for about two weeks before my free quota ran out. Then I signed up for Github Copilot since I could get the first month as a trial. I then used copilot for about two weeks as well. Cursor is so much better and I subscribed today! auto-complete is slower but much more accurate. Cha…

Hi @therealgymmy , I’m happy to hear that you loved the experience! In terms of Cursor being a standalone browser, do you mean by the @web feature? If so, that was one of the experiments/directions that we went into but you are right, we are fully committed to making AI features a lot more powerful…

apologies. I meant the decision to fork VSCode as opposed to building extension on it. I would imagine the more you diverge the more resources it takes to maintain and build it.

Could you elaborate please, like is cursor more context aware at the entire codebase level (like x proposed modification will affect y number of files in the codebase?) compared to Github Copilot?

I think Copilot can only go so far being a VSCode extension. Cursor controls the entire IDE and can branch off into its own IDE. Im not particularly experienced in how it works for extensions and forks of VSCode etc… but thats my thoughts?

Cursor also has its own version of inline completions. We’ve found it to be much better than copilot!
