I've done evaluations of Github Copilot, Sourcegraph Cody and Gitlab Duo and Copilot is not garbage, but rather the by far leader among these other options.

I've done evaluations of Github Copilot, Sourcegraph Cody and Gitlab Duo and Copilot is not garbage, but rather the by far leader among these other options.
- zhivota 1y agoDid you compare to Cursor? We gave up on Copilot a while back after Cursor blew us away. In the context of this article though, Cursor is very obviously tuned better towards Claude than OpenAI in my experience.
- grumple 1y agoCursor's agent is better, but the in-editor suggestions by Copilot when you're actually the one coding are very useful. Claude's agent is better than Cursor, so I'm not sure where Cursor fits in with this ecosystem.
- mkozlows 1y ago"Best option among loser tools" isn't the high praise you think it is, though.
- electroly 1y agoDid you compare it against any actual leading tools? Cody and Duo, really? Did you try Cursor and Claude Code?
- bredren 1y agoCursor and Claude Code are different modalities. The org provides licenses and API access to both these tools. However, many engineers still use vscode, jetbrains and vim. I maintain copilot is the best for cross IDE modality.
