alt Hacker NewsFrom reading the article. They offered their developers both Claude code and Copilot.
What they wanted was for them to use both and feedback which was better.
The developers voted with their feet and didn’t use Copilot.
What Microsoft were hoping was that the opposite would happen...

I wish I could understand the appeal of using Claude Code inside VScode rather than Copilot. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Most of us never had the option for work to pay for Claude Code -- some internal orgs did this. That being said I had a personal Claude Code subscription for a bit.
Honestly I find GitHub Copilot CLI (and now also the new GitHub Copilot app) quite decent. I mostly use it with Opus 4.7, or rarely with GPT-5.5. The VSCode extension is ok, but CLI or app are the better experience IMO.
