Hey everyone,
I’ve been using GitHub Copilot in VS Code for a while and I’m trying to understand how ChatGPT or the OpenAI API compares for day-to-day web development tasks. I know Copilot uses OpenAI models under the hood, but I’m wondering whether integrating the API directly into a VS Code extension or workflow gives more flexibility for things like code review, generating boilerplate and explaining unfamiliar code.
Is there a recommended way to use ChatGPT or the OpenAI API directly within VS Code, or is Copilot still the most practical route for most developers? Would love to hear how others have set this up!
