I have been using copilot in VS Code since it's beginnings and watch it grew into a useful product. This year, I needed to code in Visual Studio (.NET Winforms) and I tried to set up skills, agents etc., but I found that nothing works as expected, and nothing like in VS Code.

I tried to follow official help and documentation, but it still can't properly detect agents and skills, can't follow instructions, writes poor code, can't debug unit tests accurately, takes much longer time to work, often stuck in loops etc.

Is copilot in Visual Studio broken and neglected?

I am using: Visual Studio 2026 Community v18.5.2

Hello, can anyone share your costs using autocomplete on Kilo Code as a heavy coder?

I am looking to switch to Kilo Code because it is one of the few apps I find supports autocomplete. I also like that it's opensource and has a wide support for BYOK.

I write code for about 12+ hour per day, everyday. I am currently on Copilot Pro plan which gives unlimited inline autocompletions, so I don't really know the real costs.

Is there a benchmark comparing the cost of running autocomplete perpetually on Kilo Code vs Github Copilot?

I want to know if I can maintain or even reduce costs with Deepseek 4 + Kilo Code autocomplete.
