> I was curious why a company would still use the VS Code + Copilot sidebar method for coding, rather than something like Claude Code.

I use Claude Code, but I kept my Copilot subscription around mostly for really cheap usage of other models when I need to try a different one (which appears to be ending, in a sense) and also the autocomplete in Visual Studio Code which was really great across a bunch of files, I could make changes in one file and then just tab through some others.

I wonder what other good autocomplete is out there.

I am in the same boat. I tried looking for tab/auto-complete implementations ~ a year ago and it was pretty disappointing. If that has changed, would love to know!

		Windsurf has free unlimited tab complete, I use it as an IDE alongside Claude Code and it works pretty well. I think Google's Antigravity also has free tab complete but no idea if its any good.
