You Don't Need a GitHub Copilot Subscription to Use VS Code AI Features (medium.com)

Yes! I am considering cancelling Copilot so was testing OpenCode. I first tried the OpenCode extension and was super disapointed it was just the CLI which I use, but it is nowhere near as good for reviewing changes as the VSCode AI features (ie jumping between files, reading the LLM thought process -> line of code changed etc).

When I realized I could just stick my opencode models in and fully turn off copilot it was a huge win.

I wonder if this will get closed at some point. The LLM models are a cheap commodity, the convenient and power that comes from the direct integration with the IDE is where power users will notice the difference.
