Appreciating github copilot
In my experience, there is nothing close that compares to github copilot.
Its feature rich integration with VScode is lovely, its clean, simple, and with the Integrated browser, copilot CLI and extensions support for vscode, everything is possible with just Vscode and copilot.
Yes there is a whole world of local AI with softwares, I used few of them ollama, openrouter, cline, continue, aider etc. Basically you dont have to worry about huge hardware cost and low context size support with local AI and integrating multiple other softwares to make the local AI actually work.
If copilot was not there, it would have been hard, I likely would have gone with openrouter cloud models plus cline or something with VScode. Just happy to have copilot man. Eager to see deepseek, glm on copilot cli.
