Editorial verdict

The decision on Intellicode.

Microsoft Intellicode is a highly reliable and efficient AI assistant that excels at streamlining the daily coding workflow. By focusing on context-aware completions rather than just generative text, it provides a stable and predictable experience that integrates perfectly into the Visual Studio ecosystem. It is an excellent choice for developers who want to boost productivity without the unpredictability of larger generative AI models.

For teams already working within the Microsoft stack, it is an essential, no-cost upgrade to their development environment.
