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.

Cursor/Windsurf and similar IDEs and plugins are more than autocomplete on steroids.

Sure, you might not like it and think you as a human should write all code, but frequent experience in the industry in the past months is that productivity in the teams using tools like this has greatly increased.

It is not unreasonable to think that someone deciding not to use tools like this will not be competitive in the market in the near future.

I think you’re arguing a straw man

I don’t think the point was “don’t use LLM tools”. I read the argument here as about the best way to integrate these tools into your workflow.

Similar to the parent, I find interfacing with a chat window sufficiently productive and prefer that to autocomplete, which is just too noisy for me.
