I feel like this free plan is just enough to get someone hooked and require them to upgrade to paid. Like, imagine GPS navigation wasn't widespread and there was a paid service that gave you 20 free trips. Eventually your normal navigation skills would atrophy and you'd be obliged to purchase.
Could this be a strategy to get access to more code than what is available in just Github? More training data means better models I assume.

Should we still be concerned if opting out?
Microsoft would need to pay me to use Copilot. Seems like a major scam for them to learn from our code and then tell us we can’t use it to make our own competing AI systems. “Limits on use of data from the AI Services. You may not use the AI services, or data from the AI services, to create, train, or improve (directly or indirectly) any other AI service.” From https://www.microsoft.com/en/servicesagreement#13r_AISer…

I’m also a JetBrains person and never really “got” VSCode. So cursor was not a fit for me, the VSC kn shortcuts always felt limiting. So I use zed since it can be configured to use JB kb shortcuts. And it’s open source and super fast (rust-based)
I have the same issue, I tried to get into VSCode a few times but each time switched back to JetBrains. If your main issue is the keybinding though there is a vscode plugin[1] that recreates Intellij IDEA bindings, which I found helped smooth the transition during my tryouts for me.

Has anyone compared the updated Copilot with Cursor? The main updates I am wondering about are model selection and multi-file edits. I used copilot before these features, changed to Cursor and now I am wondering how much Copilot has closed the gap.
Really hope I don't get my open source maintainer Pro plan bumped down to free.
The real cost is that society at large is no longer contributing to the StackOverflow, so problems and solutions are all now stored in proprietary databases (which granted SO also was) but also now stored in an invisible proprietary database
I use supermaven and cline with my own API key, a setup superior to cursor imo. Tried to go back to gh copilot yesterday but couldn't bear it for a full workday, and reverted to my previous arrangement.
