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.

Your comment is about 2 years late. Autocomplete is not the focus of AI IDEs anymore, even though it has gotten really good with "next edit predicion". People use AI these days use it for the agentic mode.
