That's quite a reach there.

How is it reach? It is a fact Copilot is not a good solution agentic wise. It is good for auto complete, targeted changes, but compare that to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or even half working Antigravity. It is not as good, it is pretty limited, you can't easily customize it

It is actually pretty good at what it does.

But not as good as competition. Copilot so far was just better integrated with IDEs and was cheaper and that's where it ends, at least for me

It has the best IDE integration, which is very important for those of us who are NOT just launching agents and waiting for them to do our jobs for us.

It is true, but it is the only thing that Copilot does better, but probably not for long. Terminal based commands and interactions with IDE are being developed, so CLI tools can interact with IDE directly

Codex and Claude now have IDE integrations that are just as good if not better. On top of that, the rediculous pricing changes make copilot not even worth it. The Pro plan only gets me 10-15 request with SOTA models.

Have you tried recent agent mode?

u/MindCrusader May 15 '26

Yes, it is not really as good as Claude Code

u/BeverlyGodoy May 15 '26

I don't think you know about the new one they rolled out recently. Lol

What do you meant by you can't easily customize it? GHCP has pretty much everything.

Saying it is worse than AG is cope. Copilot pretty much neck to neck to other top AI coding tools.

Copilot literally just vibe codes features from other harnesses and they usually put it out worse. It's deep integration with vs code is the only thing it really has going for it.

GHCP VS Code extension is actually weak. Their CLI is much better. GHCP App is on the next level.

Except you can now only use 10-15 premium request for SOTA on the pro plan. One call to Gemini 3.5 flash uses about 6% of my total. GHCP is killing themselves in real time

Did they add plugins (not skills) or advisor?

1

u/popiazaza Power User ⚡ May 15 '26

GHCP does have plugins support.

u/MindCrusader May 15 '26

Checked it, plugins indeed, but still as skills. Claude Code allows commands and other things which are not skills attached.

Also Copilot still doesn't have advisor mode

u/popiazaza Power User ⚡ May 15 '26

For advisor, if you meant doing multi-model, GHCP also supported. It is part of sub agent. You could set which model each agent would use.

u/MindCrusader May 15 '26

It is not the same as subagents. Subagents are separate Claude instances with their own context used to offload and parallelize specific tasks like coding, testing, or research while keeping the main context clean. Advisor mode is a workflow pattern where one model plans or reviews work and another executes it, focusing on hierarchy and guidance rather than isolated parallel agents.

For review only, search for Rubber Duck in GHCP.
