I recently cancelled copilot (only used the chat) in favor of aider[0] and chatgpt vscode extension[1]. I really didn’t find myself using it much and paying for usage via openai api seems a bit more reasonable for my use case. Side note… I also tried continue.dev vscode extension[2] but could not get it to work reliably. [0]: https://aider.chat/ [1]: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=feiskyer... [2]…

Big fan of aider too. I spend way too much just playing around in repos.

I think Paul is somewhere on HN too.

Aider looks pretty good, have you tried it on medium to big sized repos?

Does this mean that the current copilot offering is not GPT4?

I read the announcement and really can't tell what is supposed to be different about this than the current VS Code copilot extension.

Is it just expanded availability to other services like GitHub?

Am I correct that only the enterprise version ($40/mo) will have the ability to use your GH repos as context for the chat? If so that kind of sucks.

I’d almost consider paying for it for my personal repos which contains my side business but it’s a stretch.

> Bringing Copilot Chat to JetBrains Yay. I got into the copilot x labs beta but using VS code is a nonstarter. I love my JetBrains IDEs and refuse to use anything else.

Same here. Any idea where we can get the JetBrains preview? EDIT - never mind found it

Thanks! I didn't even know there was a waitlist

I have toyed with it on a larger code base but nothing significant. I ran out of tokens fairly quickly on trying out some larger refactoring/tasks. I don’t find myself reaching for it much but I’m usually pretty impressed when I do.

I really want to continue to support Continue as they're one of the few coding assistants that have extensions for both VS Code and Jetbrains IDEs.

It looks like it should be a really nice extension. I did do a little digging to see if I could help debug the issues I was running into but ultimately didn’t have the time to allocate to it. I’ll try again in the near future.
