Things are changing so fast with these vscode forks I m barely able to keep up. Which one are you guys using currently? How does the autocomplete etc, compare between the two?

Neither? I'm surprised nobody has said it yet. I turned off AI autocomplete, and sometimes use the chat to debug or generate simple code but only when I prompt it to. Continuous autocomplete is just annoying and slows me down.

Yeah

AI autocomplete is a feature, not a product (to paraphrase SJ)

I can understand Windsurf getting the valuation as they had their own Codeium model

$B for a VSCode fork? Lol

Microsoft seems to be always winner - maybe they predicted all this and for this reason they made core extensions closed source.
