You can use Copilot Chat* with basically any API provider, and if you switch to the VS Code Insiders build you can configure it to use literally any OpenAI API-compatible endpoint.
replyOther than that Zed has a similar experience which is pretty decent.
* By which I mean the good one, whatever it's called now - the part of Copilot that used to be a plugin and is now part of VS Code, not the thing that has always been part of VS Code.
Try Cline, a vscode plugin that's been around since the start and has really active development. You can also use most providers as well.
replySaw this new Cline fork mentioned in another post: https://github.com/dirac-run/dirac
replyAlso heard of more and more people moving to Kilo Code or OpenChamber instead.
I tried Openchamber. Far too buggy. Cline seems like the best bet.
replyI used to feel exactly like you do, but now I use the Claude CLI exclusively and am very pleased with the results.
replyCould you elaborate on what's better about the CLI?
replySimply the output of the code written. It initially worried me that it was harder to add context (can't select a single line of code in VS Code and automatically attach it, for example), but I've found that the Claude CLI's output is so far superior that it doesn't even need that VS Code context.
