alt Hacker News> Copilot is like a barely better intellisense/auto-complete
As I have never tried Claude Code, I can't say how much better it is. But Copilot is definitely more then auto-complete. Like I already wrote, it can do Planning mode, edit mode, mcp, tool calling, web searches.

Yeah, same. I have never tried Claude Code but use Claude through the Copilot plugin, and it's NOT auto-complete. It can analyze and refactor code, write new code, etc.
I just feel like using Copilot would be like early car designers trying to steer their new car with reins.
