For me, personally, Copilot is the best because you are typing and it is just suggesting. Very often I type something, wait 2 seconds for its answer (knowing it is going to get it right 80% of the time) and press tab. Sure, it misses a ton, but I see it as a great autocorrect that is always there trying to help. Now, copilot chat and everything else are very bad. I don't like them. If you are "intentional" I usually just use ChatGPT-4 directly. I've had a super pleasant experience with Cursor, too. You can just open Cursor and say "write readme for me", it will scan your project and right a decent readme. It is also eeeeextremely goooood at "I need to know where in the codebase is doing this" and it finds. But for day to day I still prefer chatgpt 4. So I would say: - If you want a nice autocorrect, copilot - If you want something that knows your project and tries to help, cursor - If you just want something smart, chatgpt with gpt-4. I would say copilot lets me be 15% faster daily, and gpt-4 about 30% faster (when I need it), but I need it less often - maybe twice per day. |

- Doesn't close brackets / adds too many closing brackets
- Spams completions while you're writing comments
- Doesn't auto import the required libraries after accepting a suggestion
- No multi cursor mode
- Refuses to name variables
- Refuses to trigger in the middle of a line
- Lower quality code than ChatGPT (probably because they use a smaller model)
Asking because I was also a heavy Github Copilot user but after 1-2 years of constant subpar UX and seemingly no effort from the Copilot team to fix it, I just went ahead and built my own extension that fixes all of the above: https://double.bot
Also it wasn't on your list but you mentioned GPT-4 is smart. You should try the new Claude 3 Opus, we implemented it on Monday and have been getting super positive feedback from users!
