Why would anyone use Copilot when you have so many other options. Cursor just released Composer 2.5 and it’s actually decent. I should have a job right now doing this.
From the enterprise admin of Copilot, Cursor & Claude…enterprise controls. Microsoft GitHub understands what companies need to run their products securely and successfully (at scale™).
/edit to add. Our Copilot bill went down due to change in billing type, mostly due to organization pooling of credits.
I don’t think you understood my sentence, we (the company) already offer plenty of choices. In fact we offer OpenAI (Codex, ChatGPT) as well as Gemini. I just admin Cursor, Copilot and Claude (and at one time we offered Windsurf, but that didn’t have enough users to rectify the costs/time spent administrating it). What I am trying to tell you is that the fairly new companies, OpenAI, Cursor, Anthropic/Claude absolutely suck at making their product usable by the enterprise while Gemini and Copilot completely understand enterprise needs/requirements.
We already have Linux laptops (with enterprise controls). /edit Apple machines are primarily used though. We even offer Windoze if you really need it! (Some folks do.)

Because subsidized plans can’t be used at enterprise. Enterprise pays expensive api rates

That just sounds like bad management, and a huge opportunity to cut costs by switching to Linux and something like cursor or other alternatives.

That’s fair, as long as it’s recognized that it’s that way for now, and rapidly changing.
