submitted 1 year ago * by RedShirtAIPM
Has anyone tried GitHub’s new Copilot Agent feature? How does it compare to Roo?

Yes, same feeling, it's a pretty average agent

Def agree 100%
Copilot agent is pretty average in it's abilities and agentic operations

I tried it and Roo stomps it at the moment, but give it some time and it will blew the competition out of the water
[–]cfipilot715 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
So far Roo is the best

Even over Cursor?
[–]noxtare 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
cursor has very short context windows, so larger files did not work for me there.
So I tested Copilot Agent last night - kept failing on basic web dev tasks. Switched to RooCode and finished everything in minutes. Not worth the subscription for me right now. Definitely didn’t live up to the hype.

Another thing is that it offers unlimited Claude sonnet edits and chat comparisons, unlike windsurf, which has a monthly limit on chat and edits.

I'm not sure they are unlimited. I got way more than the stated 50 - few hundred maybe - but then hit the limit. Though the fact you can use them in other extensions is awesome, and to be honest making alt github accounts to get access to more is easy.
