I currently prefer GitHub Copilot Pro to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode for my current role and codebase. Staff Engineer in a midsized professional engineering organization. Using Agent mode with latest OpenAI and Anthropic models. Backend TypeScript maintaining established codebases. Not being constrained by management. It’s not a perfect tool but it has advanced significantly since early releases.


> it has advanced significantly since early releases

I have used Claude Code past few weeks and honestly can't tell if it is any better, or does anything different than Copilot in agent mode with same models.


Yes. It’s kind of like giving power of attorney to Jeffery Epstein.


Seems to be working out alright for old Wexner.
