GitHub copilot was released in 2021, and Cursor was released around October 2023[0].

At the earliest, "vibecoding" was only possible with Claude 3.5, released July 2024 ... maaaybe Claude 3, released in March of that year...

It's worth mentioning that even today, Copilot is an underwhelming-to-the-point-obstructing kind of product. Microsoft sent salespeople and instructors to my job, all for naught. Copilot is a great example of how product > everything, and if you don't have a good product... well...

Is Claude through Github Copilot THAT much worse? I know there are differences, but I don't find it to be obstructing my vibe coding.

Github copilot used to only be in line completion. That is not vibe coding.

I wasn't an early adopter of Copilot, but now the VSCode plugin can use Claude models in Agent mode. I've had success with this.

I don't "vibecode" though, if I don't understand what it's doing I don't use it. And of course, like all LLMs, sometimes it goes on a useless tangent and must be reigned in.

Early cursor was just integrated chat and code completion. No agents.

was github copilot LLM based in 2021? I thought the first version was something more rudimentary
