It kept truncating files only about 600 lines long. It also seems to rewrite the entire file each time instead of just sending diffs like aider making it super slow.

Interestingly, I had this problem with Claude (their web chat) and not Copilot. However, there were times where it was unresponsive.

oh, I see your point now. Its weird that they are not doing the search and replace style editing. Altho now that OpenAI also has Predicted Output, I think this will improve and it won't make mistakes while rewriting longer files.

The 600 line limit might be due to the output token limit on the LLM (not sure what they are using for the code rewriting)

Yeah I guess it's a response limit. It makes it a deal breaker though.
