I used Tabnine for about 3 months during the free trial, and while I thought it was great, I ended up switching to GitHub Copilot since my company provided it. Honestly, after some time, I feel like Copilot just fits me better.
I think the choice between Tabnine and Copilot comes down to personal preference. Both are solid tools with their own fans. One thing’s for sure, though—having an AI assistant like this makes life so much easier!
For me, the biggest win is how much it helps with jumping into new tasks—it makes that initial barrier so much smoother. Also, I really appreciate the /explain feature and the auto-generated commit messages.
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! 😊
