Have you ran into issues with Copilot where it does things like:
- Doesn't close brackets / adds too many closing brackets
- Spams completions while you're writing comments
- Doesn't auto import the required libraries after accepting a suggestion
- No multi cursor mode
- Refuses to name variables
- Refuses to trigger in the middle of a line
- Lower quality code than ChatGPT (probably because they use a smaller model)
Asking because I was also a heavy Github Copilot user but after 1-2 years of constant subpar UX and seemingly no effort from the Copilot team to fix it, I just went ahead and built my own extension that fixes all of the above: https://double.bot
Also it wasn't on your list but you mentioned GPT-4 is smart. You should try the new Claude 3 Opus, we implemented it on Monday and have been getting super positive feedback from users!
