summary

VS Code claims concrete wins: 3.6x faster symbol search and colorization/intelligence about 1.5x faster, with an example amalgamation file going from 11s→3s. GitHub Copilot now auto-includes referenced C++ headers, supports participants and slash commands for workspace-aware responses, and can generate fixes and tests inline; demos show a CMake build workflow preset running, build errors fixed, tests passing, and the app working. CMake gains a targets side panel, workflow presets, extract-to-member refactor, and floating editor windows.
