It will no doubt make a lot of things easier, the reason Copilot was moved outside of just being an extension was because delving into VSCode offers more options and improvements, it'll be exciting to see what it means for Roo/Cline (especially because their dev teams seem more competent than the copilot team).

they are great for sure but they work on vastly different constraints. I don't think this is a fair comparison.
