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 use Rider with some built in AI auto-complete. I'd say its hit rate is pretty low!

Sometimes it auto-completes nonsense, but sometimes I think I'm about to tab on auto-completing a method like FooABC and it actually completes it to FoodACD, both return the same type but are completely wrong.

I have to really be paying attention to catch it selecting the wrong one. I really really hate this. When it works its great, but every day I'm closer to just turning it off out of frustration.
