In VS Code Insiders, Plan is now built-in. Plan analyzes tasks, breaks them down into steps, and generates implementation plans before starting development. Coming to Stable soon!
It seems to me that, for all its progress in the last several months, GitHub Copilot is moving backward. The solution isn't adding more modes—it's eliminating them entirely. Remove the 'mode selector'. Maintain a single text box: you express what you need, and the system understands whether you're exploring the codebase, editing specific files, planning architecture, debugging or requesting autonomous implementation. But that's not all. The system should seamlessly switch between those 'modes' in the background, without the user ever noticing. That's consistent with how software is built and the standard you should be reaching for. Don't celebrate the addition of 'modes' as if it's novel, exciting or innovative. You're playing catch up when you could be leading the way!
Mejorando!
