I thought Cursor was pointless until trying out Google's latest coding GPT, which blows everything else out of the water. I may switch from VSCode to cursor for the next few months just because of that.

Why not just switch Copilot to use Google Gemini 2.5 Pro as the model?

With every update to the Copilot extension, I see less and less of a need to switch away from VS Code to some “dedicated AI editor du jour”.

Maybe I’m missing something, or maybe people aren’t keeping up with Copilot’s capabilities?

Good point. I suppose I'd missed that they added it. Trying it now and it's fantastic.

I meant the GPT Gemini 2.5 pro exp. but I see now it's available in VS code too. Guess I missed it because I was always using Claude
