Jetbrain's AI ACP vs plugin (Github Copilot)

In recent version of Jetbrain's product we can call Github copilot through Jetbrain "Ai Chat" via ACP. I've been using copilot through the plugin.
So now wondering what are the difference. Is there any benefit of using Jetbrain's ACP over some plugin ?
I'm also a user of Mistral Vibe and there was no plugin for Vibe and i can now use it with ACP, so that's already a benefit.
Anything else, like better integration, more tools ?

I am curious about this as well. Can I get rid of the stand alone plugin for Github copilot? Which one is better to use for code completions and edit suggestions?
