Copilot being in my editor changed how often I reach for AIClaude in a separate window doesn't have the same effect.

I use Claude a lot for complex problem-solving and Copilot inline in VS Code for quick completions. The difference in actual usage frequency is something I've started noticing. Copilot I use constantly, basically without thinking about it. Claude I use maybe five times a day, and half the time I talk myself out of opening it because I already know what's coming: copy the relevant code, paste it, add context about the project structure and what I was trying to do, explain the error I'm getting, then finally ask the actual question. The friction is small. But it's consistent enough that I default to struggling through something myself, or Googling, instead of opening Claude. The specific case that gets me most is when the problem is visible on screen. I can see the bug. Claude could probably help me solve it faster. But the work of getting what's visible into Claude's context is just enough friction to make me not bother. Is the gap between ""AI embedded in the tool you're working in"" and ""AI in a separate chat window"" meaningful to other developers, or is this a habit thing I should just push through?" submitted by /u/Queasy_Hotel5158 [link] [留言]
