What commercial IDE is best integrated with lisp? (alien.top)

OK, so I'm teaching a class in LLMs and want to use copilot for the next batch of students, who are from the IT department. If I want to demonstrate copilot and copilot chat, I need to use something other than emacs because the only emacs based interface to copilot doesn't have chat and appears somewhat fragile.

Copilot supports Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, or one of the JetBrains IDEs.

Since this is a long-term assignment, paid for commercial offerings are fine (i.e. JetBrains). It seems VS Code has a few options, like Common Lisp vs code extension or Alive. The former seems to be a syntax highlighter. Alive looks like it has a REPL and may be closer to a real development environment.

Anyone got a favorite combination? Also open to other co-pilot / Common Lisp integrations that I may have missed.

+1 for PyCharm or other IDE from JetBrains.

By the way, I've made a review on different IDE supporting Common Lisp. It is available here (turn on english subtitles):

or you could not

Even though you can make Copilot work in almost anything, I think Copilot Chat is supported only in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code for now. There are Lisp addons for both but I don't know how good they are. My bet is that they are probably better in VScode.

Use GPT4, which is miles better than copilot, and use the emacs chatgpt-shell.

lispworks, but it’s quite expensive.

Microsoft Excel. I can explain.

Edit: The Lambda Calculus now natively ships with Excel.
