GitHub Copilot Review
Copilot stays in your editor and finishes your thoughts. It's less flashy than the agentic tools, but the autocomplete is so good it feels like the editor read your mind. For day-to-day coding in an IDE you already like, it's still the safest bet.

Editorial Review
Copilot has grown from autocomplete into a full chat assistant, but autocomplete is still its best trick. Developers who want to stay in their editor get the most value here.

FAQ
Is GitHub Copilot free?
There's a free tier for verified students, teachers, and maintainers of popular open-source projects. For everyone else, Pro starts around $10 a month, which is cheap compared to the time it saves.
Alternatives
Cursor is what happens when you build the editor around the AI instead of bolting the AI onto an editor. It indexes your whole codebase, so its answers actually know what your project does. The agent mode can knock out a refactor while you watch, which is equal parts impressive and unsettling.
