alt Hacker Newsfor my experience currently, I greatly prefer the VSCode Copilot extension experience over the Claude Extension
I think VSCode only supports copilot for "autocomplete" too
on top of that, you need GitHub Copilot for the PR reviewer functionality in GitHub

Huh, I find my copilot plugin to be so incredibly glitchy. My agents are always reporting that their shells are mangled that commands are truncated and all kinds of nonsense. Sometimes they spin up dev servers fine other times it just hangs waiting for a terminal response. So far I have found relying on the CLI from the model providers to be significantly more reliable.
I do like the integrations with the IDE however, they are convenient for rapidly reviewing changes. I just need their terminals to actually work!
You can use Copilot extension with OpenRouter (among others).
And yes, I need to find a solution for autocomplete. It used to be available in free tier of Copilot. Not sure anymore.
