? Did you even read the thread? It's about Copilot X, not Copilot. I use Copilot in Intellij daily, and that's exact what I'm worrying about: once MS's AI tools get big enough, they won't be so friendly to third-party IDEs.
It's not a stretch at all. Take a look at Copilot's homepage: https://github.com/features/copilot
> Keep flying with your favorite editor
Now, look at Copilot X's announcement:
> We are bringing a chat interface to the editor that’s focused on developer scenarios and natively integrates with VS Code and Visual Studio
> It recognizes what code a developer has typed, what error messages are shown, and it’s deeply embedded into the IDE.
It reads like "we're going to make AI a competitive advantage of VS and VScode." Of course they have the right to do it, I'm just saying I hate it.
