Admittedly I don't have a tremendous amount of varied experience with AI-assisted coding, but I have used VSCode copilot quite a bit with Python and it has worked quite well for me. I am sometimes very surprised how well it figures out my intent.

I'm next planning on looking at Cursor and Claude Code, so the GH Copilot CLI preview caught my attention.

What exactly do you dislike about VSCode copilot compared to the competition?

It pales in comparison to cursor and cursor itself is so buggy, slow on features and now pushing a “cloud offering” that everyday I think about an alternative. So both aren’t perfect but cursor is superior in every way in terms of actual work flow vs “features” that tick some manager’s box but aren’t part of a congruent whole.
