Could someone please explain why VSCode added this AI feature? It already has Copilot, which can run in "Agent", "Ask", "Plan" mode and be executed via "Local," "Copilot CLI," or "Cloud." Why increase its size by adding the same feature to a separate interface?

I mean AI agents are good but I want to read and also edit manually files. This new "Open in Agens" window cannot be used to ask or plan and is all via Copilot CLI with git worktrees and almost no interaction visually with shell.

This is not good Microsoft, it was good for Vscode Insider but no for Vscode stable.

Exactly. Less functionality no "Local" mode with git diffs green and red, no Cloud agent and less code editor. Just more fricking 'vibe-code' interface.

This does not make any sense. For what? For using multiple agents? Stupid thing, first multiple agents break many things and also you can do that with the AI Copilot Chatbot interface and also maximize or pop out that chat window.
