JetBrains IDES already have copilot integration which works quite well and which I use constantly.
This part piques my interest though:
> It works locally and is available offline. This means you can take advantage of the feature even if you aren’t connected to the internet.
Anybody familiar with copilot tried this out and have thoughts on how it compares?
- zachmu 3y agoReading the fine print a bit more, I see this is limited to single-line completions. Copilot will often write complete blocks for me. Might still be nice to use when I'm on the road though.
- mike_hearn 3y agoYeah I've tried both and prefer JB single-line completion. Being local only is great, but it's also just better trained. Copilot multi-line completions are often too distracting, take too long to check and are frequently wrong. The JB implementation seems somehow less aggressive and error prone. It won't show up unless it's more confident, which works better.
