For one thing I like agents that live inside my IDE and can directly make patches that affect various files. If it is patching things and then I tell it "I still see a squggle on line 75" I feel like I am collaborating with it. If I am having to cut and paste code out of Copilot and then fix up the imports and then I have to tell it the code is wrong I feel stupid.
If it's not a wrapper for GPT it is a wrapper for something else that's similar. The one I enjoy the most now is Windsurf and it is such a blast to have it tell me it is having trouble with its tools and ask for help. ("You're running on Microsoft Windows, you write C: not /C: and use the backslash instead of the slash in paths")

I use cline and cursor, not sure they can be though of as GPT wrappers
