I’m coming from Copilot and was trying out Claude Code in VSCode. A feature I use pretty heavily in Copilot is when I’m viewing my code, I can highlight and pin specific lines of code, as well as multiple files. Also I much prefer when copilot changes the files, it has a nice GUI to see the changed lines and keep/undo very granularly. Using Claude Code in VSCode felt archaic in comparison. I can only pin a single file at a time and can’t reference specific lines. Now a very recent VSCode update lets you use Claude as an agent with your Copilot tooling, but it’s definitely finicky and doesn’t yet support everything regular copilot does, but still more then the regular Claude code extension. Anyways the way I use AI coding in general is very deliberate and small in scope, and I’m explicitly in the loop for every single change done. I think scaffolding huge projects is nonsense and leads to completely unmanageable code bases that become undevelopable. Does anyone else use Claude Code/Copilot in this way? I like Claude for it’s $20/mo subscription, and Copilot has halted new signups and likely is going to increase prices (thanks OpenClaw users for that…). However I hear tons of praise with Claude Code but find it so lacking in comparison. How are you guys using it? Like are you just full on vibe coding? Do you guys use it very targeted and deliberately? submitted by /u/CondiMesmer
