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?

Claude Code. And... Junie in Jetbrains IDE. It appeared recently and I'm really impressed by its quality. I think it is on the level of Claude Code.

I think it uses claude code by default, it is literally the same thing, with different (better) interface.

Junie in Ask mode:

Jetbrains wider AI tools let you choose the model that gets used but as far as I can tell Junie doesn't. That said, it works great.

That just means it's using Sonnet, not that it's using Claude Code.

Even that doesn't have to be true, LLMs often impersonate other popular models.
