GitHub Copilot Workspace: worth another look in 2026?

What improved

• Plans are now editable inline before execution — no more all-or-nothing runs.
• PR previews live directly in the workspace, so review-and-iterate loops are much shorter.
• Cross-repo context works on org-scoped repos without extra setup.

What's still rough

Latency remains the weak spot. A cold workspace can take 30 seconds before the first token, which kills the vibe when you're used to Claude Code's snappier feel.

Verdict

A credible option now, especially for teams already deep in GitHub Actions. Not our first pick, but no longer easy to dismiss.
