Crazy to think that Github Copilot was the first mainstream AI coding tool. It had all the hype and momentum in the world, and Microsoft decided to do...absolutely nothing with it.

I use Copilot in VSCode at work, and it's pretty effective. You can choose from quite a few models, and it has the agentic editing you'd expect from an IDE based AI development tool. I don't know if it does things like browser integration because I don't do frontend work. It's definitely improved over the last 6 months.

There's also all the other Copilot branded stuff which has varying use. The web based chat is OK, but I'm not sure which model powers it. Whatever it is it can be very verbose and doesn't handle images very well. The Office stuff seems to be completely useless so far.

I have found copilot to be very noisy to the point where I have had to turn it off and then uninstall on both IntelliJ and VSCode. I have found generating code via your favourite coding agent and then reviewing the output to be less taxing since the review burden is reduced. For agentic, you often have to review a bunch of code but its usually very close to the spec. Reviews are then easier.
