I already see some DIY attempts at some level of editor integration like codeGPT and I’m aware chatGPT is more expensive but it provides several times the value of copilot. Not only do I find chatGPT more useful at coding it can also do things like draft emails amazingly well.

I cancelled my $10 copilot subscription after chatGPT came out and am happy to pay whatever ChatGPT is charging. I just can’t justify paying for both at current pricing.

Copilot made me faster at pumping out boilerplate but when ChatGPT is already being used by me to pump out boilerplate and so much more it feels too expensive for something so redundant. $120/yr to $240/yr USD is a TON to pay for a nice-to-have. Cut the price in half or even offer a Chatgpt+copilot bundle with a discounted price and I’ll consider it.

If I have a 10-100 line script to pump out, these days I don’t bother using an IDE + copilot I’m going to ask ChatGPT to do it and never leave the console until it gets it right. Then I might use chatgpt to draft up an email afterwards.

This makes me feel like it’s copilot that’s the one forcing me to disrupt my workflow rather than the other way around because ChatGPT already is being used so heavily by me.

  >Copilot is useful because the cost to ask it something is effectively zero...

Copiolot requires you to enter payment details, to access the trial period. ChatGPT is available to use for free, as long as you're prepared to put up with the fact access may not always be instantly available during busy periods. So the reality is the reverse of what you say.

> I've never used Copilot, but ChatGPT doesn't have a way to integrate directly in your editors?

And I suspect it would be too slow for use in an editor the way ChatGPT seems to be throttled.
