I’ve only used Opus in GitHub copilot and was hugely underwhelmed. It was barely usable. Are you saying it’s better with the official Anthropic tools?

Night and day in my opinion. But these are all purely Feels so YMMV etc.

I like how especially the Claude Code CLI version communicates how it's progressing, something they hide a lot more on the desktop app for example.

I don't know about better but it's certainly different. It's painfully slow through claude code vscode extension compared to copilot but maybe "smarter", I feel like I have to correct it less using sonnet on both. I don't use opus much because of the cost but coworkers say the difference between harnesses there is also pronounced.
