VS Code just keeps falling behind -- still missing this crucial feature 🤦

It's so clear that they're just not the most innovative IDE in town anymore.

I can't believe VS Code still doesn't have this incredible AI feature in GitHub Copilot.

It's so clear that they're just not the most innovative IDE in town anymore.

The powerful Tab-to-jump has already become a standard in major rivals like Windsurf and Cursor — yet VS Code is still largely stuck in line completions.

Windsurf and Cursor have had bonafide coding agents for weeks now with several updates — yet GitHub’s agent hasn’t even gone past public preview lol.

Line completions are just so old school now… why are they moving so slow?

With tab-to-jump the IDE no longer thinks merely at the level of the current line but the entire file and codebase.

It’s no longer just trying to predict our next character, but now our next action in the code.

It’s becoming more and more of a full-fledged autonomous AI companion.

Things like refactoring just keep getting easier — like recently one time I added an extra param to a method, and I instantly start Tab-to-jump suggestions which took me to all the method calls to add the new argument using the most logical variable around.
