I haven't used Copilot yet, but in your opinion, which of these tools is the best? Specifically, how do they compare in terms of user experience and not slowing down VS Code?

I use Visual Studio Professional 2022, and honestly, both Tabnine and Copilot worked fast enough for me—no noticeable slowdown. I prefere Copilot :) If you’re curious, you can actually try Copilot for free in VS Code now. Microsoft made it available with some limitations, but it’s still a great way to test it out. I saw this post today about setting it up: dev.to/angelocodes/github-copilot-... Definitely worth checking out ;)

I installed it right after you suggested it—thanks! It seems pretty cool so far. I’ll try it out more and maybe write a post about it. Appreciate it! 😊
