I'd like others' input on this: increasingly, I see Cursor, Jetbrains, etc. moving towards a model of having you manage many agents working on different tasks simultaneously. But in real, production codebases, I've found that even a single agent is faster at generating code than I am at evaluating its fitness and providing design guidance. Adding more agents working on different things would not speed anything up. But perhaps I am just much slower or a poorer multi-tasker than most. Do others find these features more useful?

I have to agree, currently it doesn't look that innovative. I would rather want parallel agents working on the same task, orchestrated in some way to get the best result possible. Perhaps using IntelliJ for code insights, validation, refactoring, debugging, etc.

Seems to completely ignore usage of local/free models as well as anything but Sonnet/ChatGPT. So my confidence in the good faith of the author is... heavily restricted.

Augment doesn't support local models or anything else other than Claude/GPT

Does updating GitHub Copilot extension counts as install counts? or is only "new installs"?

Great dashboard.

Yes, every update also counts as an install. Also worth noting that Github Copilot became bundled in VS Code by default at some point, but I'm not sure how it's reflected in the install count.
