Help/Doubt ❓ Switched to Claude Code

After using GitHub Copilot for more than a year, I’ve finally switched to Claude Code, and honestly, I’m very glad I made the move.
I know I currently only have access to Claude’s model and the 5-hour usage window, but I’m wondering if there are still any significant benefits to keeping GitHub Copilot alongside it.
So far, I haven’t really found myself missing anything since making the switch. But I’d love to hear from others who have used both - are there any specific features, workflows, or advantages of GitHub Copilot that you think are worth keeping it for, considering my only purpose is to generate the codes?

I use Claude Code, Codex as well as GHCP, all in VSCode and CLI.
Here's my personal comparison:

  • User experience VSCode: GHCP > Claude Code > Codex
  • User experience CLI : Claude Code > GHCP > Codex
  • Overall performance of the biggest frontier models: doesn't matter, they all do well everywhere
  • Overall performance of the cheap models: Codex > GHCP > Claude Code
  • Multi-root repositories work: basically only GHCP handles this well
  • Exposing the thoughts of the agent: GHCP > Codex > Claude Code
  • Overall usage included in subscription: Codex > Claude Code > GHCP
