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.
