GitHub Copilot Just Destroyed All AI Code Editor Startups

Did GitHub copilot just destroy every other AI Code Startup?
With the announcement from Github Universe 2024, I am almost certain they did. Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet + Gemini 1.5 Pro and OpenAI 4o models

not surprising at all

a lot of these 'ai startups' are just forks / clones anyways

[hebozhe]

"Pay $10 a month to not even use our model if you don't want to."

[DeanRie]

Copilot will never beat Cursor until it has something like Cursor Tab.

[arthur-zhuk]

A lot of the value comes in from the UX and prompt style not just this surface level "we support more models now" implementation.

[annoorange]

splitting JS and TS in a list is criminal. slide probably generated by AI

[DhruvRed]

After using cursor free version, cannot go back to VS code anymore

[kalligatorGR]

Zed editor has had the multiple LLM choice for a while now as well.

[debsouryadatta]

Happy to hear since I already got copilot with my edu account 👀

[mubashir]

A bit hyperbolic title. “Copilot will sometime in the near future offer other LLMs in the code editor”. Cursor has been doing that and a lot more for quite some time.

[parsanobahari]

5:59 embrace, extend, and extinguish. where have I heard that from?

[alexandraspalato]

Unfortunately I'm addicted to the cursor tab, and to the composer!

[huseyn]

This feels like paid review, or author doesn't know Cursor's feature set

[Paul_Marek]

I’ve been using Cursor with both GPT and Claude since it came out - as a newbie GenX coder. I feel like I have a friggin genie or magician in my computer. I’m shocked and what I’ve been able to build - front end and backend.
If anybody can make that better I’ll give it a shot for sure. The future looks bright.

[mee_ehow]

I can't believe I'm watching a video of a guy hyping up a model select field. Cursor still has some great features like being able to easily reference a terminal output, or other small DX things that work because they've escaped VSCode limitations. Unless Github Copilot team collaborates with VSCode team, Cursor might still be slightly ahead. And slightly ahead is probably enough for Cursor to get piece of the pie — transitioning from VSCode to Cursor is really seamless.

[floriankapfenberger]

Also Copilot will come to Xcode which is huge for iOS developers who can't easily switch editor

[SR-tijj]

I mean does it have the TAB thing and Composer? Doesn't seem like there is feature parity with Cursor yet, but close

[NeurodivergentTM]

Hmmm. I just stumbled over a similar video, but where Cursor was the "Copilot" killer (hate that word). I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

[cholst]

So basically the assistant panel in Zed?

[EcomGraduates]

Of course this was going to happen. Cursor is a fork of vscode slapped with a built in extension. Microsoft wasn’t going to sit back

[Redyf]

I have copilot but don't even use it on neovim, but I might give it a try again if I'm able to select the model I'd like to use
