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.
What folks don't understand, or keep in mind maybe, is that in order for that autocomplete to work, all your code is going up to a third party as you write it or open files. This is one of the reasons I disable it. I want to control what I send via the chat side panel by explicitly giving it context. It's also pretty useless most of the time, generating nonsense and not even consistently either.
