I’m a Vim guy and I’m very impressed with VS Copilot, but:

- Not enough to switch (yet, at least)

- I would have to carefully review the generated code, which is not as fun writing

The license issue is something I expect will be solved in the next few years (a dropdown menu to choose from, maybe).

I'm not sure it will, as everyone who uses it don't appear to really care about other people's licences anyway. It's just a method of BSD washing GPL code.

You can use copilot with vim, no problem.
Yes, original copilot, but not new copilot with expanded features. I'm a vim person and wold rather give up copilot than move to vs code, so I do hope they aren't going to leave vim behind and focus only on vs code moving forward.
