I really want to love Tabine. I really, really do.

I gave it a fair chance, let it index my private personal projects, ran it on my personal machine to see how it worked. The results are... not great. I'm using IntelliJ, and Tabnine is arrogant enough to believe that their autocomplete is superior to the libraries autocomplete, even when completely wrong or it has no idea of its autocomplete. These are opensource libraries.

Their inline suggestions (per what Github Copilot) isn't great either. I've tried their different strength levels (their UI for their product is fantastic) and it's not great.

Github copilot when I first started was pretty good, over the last few months it's become amazing. I'm going to be giving my money to Github over Tabnine, but would prefer to give it to Tabnine.

Seconded. Tabnine's suggestions were way worse than IntelliJ's suggestions. It was very annoying. Uninstalled it after a giving it a good try.

Java was the one language where I found TabNine to fall short. I think it’s a harder case for AI completions, because the existing story for editing Java is a lot less like editing text than other languages.

I haven’t tried Copilot for editing Java, because I’m no longer working in any Java code bases, but I wonder if it does a better job.

I uninstalled T9 for this reason: bad suggestions superseding the regular autocomplete, this is just not good.

I have yet to compare to copilot.

Same issue with the autocompletes pushing the ground-truth out.

I actually installed a third-party extension which implements their autocomplete differently.

So weird that they didn't hear such major/consistent feedback. (Maybe they didn't want to tank their 'suggestions taken' number?)

please take a look at inline suggestions that will be in grey and not in the regular autocomplete box. It is now the default setup.

Same here. I gave it a go for a while, thinking I must be holding it wrong or something.
