AI desperation has ruined VS Code

The desperation is all over the place now.

Before:

After:

VS Code is no longer about having an open-source lightweight editor freely available to anyone.

Now it's about winning the AI race with GitHub Copilot.

At first they were playing it cool — Copilot was just another extension you installed like Tabnine and others.

But soon VS Code slowly started being used more and more as a marketing platform to get people to pay for Copilot.

Copilot promo in the Welcome Page — a great, hard-to-miss location right?

And if you miss that, you most certainly wouldn't miss the Copilot button right next to the search bar.

Visible not just on the Welcome page but on any page — or no page open at all.

I knew it once I saw this button appear. Yet another app had hopped on the AI train.

Copilot was no longer being treated as just another VS Code extension, but a core part of the editor.

The face of VS Code.

When you think of VS Code, you are to immediately think of Copilot.

Writer RAG tool: build production-ready RAG apps in minutes

RAG in just a few lines of code? We've launched a predefined RAG tool on our developer platform, making it easy to bring your data into a Knowledge Graph and interact with it with AI. With a single API call, writer LLMs will intelligently call the RAG tool to chat with your data.

Integrated into Writer's full-stack platform, it eliminates the need for complex vendor RAG setups, making it quick to build scalable, highly accurate AI workflows just by passing a graph ID of your data as a parameter to your RAG tool.
