I love VSCode built in LLM harness. No extensions, use any model you want, amazing UX for reviews, control of agents. The sandboxing also seems great, I never see models touching anything they shouldn't.

Is this the chat on the side or the agents feature?

Both are great, and analogous to Cursor which has both features too.

I have to admit I'm not clear the difference? It starts with the list of your sessions/agents . Then starting a new "agent" or question or plan. I usually use each agent for a few questions or prompts at most. Occasionally it runs longer than that.

I love using it for the chat question style where I ask it things like:

For these frontend pages with X options collect the database tables for each.

This is of course something easy to do manually, but I like it stepping through a couple functions much faster than me searching around manually and maybe getting lazy and not checking all of them.
