Great list. I haven't had a chance to try Cursor yet - any idea how it compares with Github Copilot?

The capability to converse based on your _entire_ code base is a game changer. Also, I find Cursor better at generating long-form code, i.e. more than a few lines or a function.

I may be wrong, but I believe the @workspace 'agent' (as they call it) in Copilot will have context about your whole project: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/github-copilot#_agents-and-slash-commands

It's also possible to get terminal context and context about vscode itself.

That is correct. Project-wide context was released on Nov 1st 2023. Thanks for the signal boost.
