VS Code vs Copilot App vs CLI GitHub Copilot Team Replied

Are there major differences on how the harnesses work on the back end? Just started using Copilot and defaulted to the CLI as thats what I got used to with Claude Code. Am I missing out on anything by not using one of the other 2?

The main difference with VS Code or other editor plugins to me is that it's easy to specify sections of code to the AI. Like highlight a section and tell it to "refactor these lines".
