I see that emacs-lsp has copilot lsp support now. I've been using copilot.el for a few years now. Underneath I think they both use the microsoft copilot lsp server.. is there a difference between using copilot via copilot.el and lsp (particularly if you are using lsp for other things like clojure)? One reason to prefer one over the other? If not I am inclined to use the lsp version just to drop an extra dep.

I took emacs-lsp's copilot for a spin, and right away I can see a big difference: If you are inside an sexp, the suggestions always unbalance the parens. copilot.el has some heuristics to prevent that IIRC

TIL emacs -nw -q works really well in Windows as a quick-launching editor for quick changes to config files etc from the terminal.
I guess I had an outdated impression of emacs not having much support in non-GUI mode in Windows.

Just for curiosity, which terminal? The black one (is it called cmd.exe?) or the powershell one?

I tried it from powershell in the new (W11?) Terminal app.
