I'm mostly curious how much overlap there is in use cases for Snippets with parameters, possibly even snippets with conditional parameters vs Copilot.
I imagine there's some situations where Snippets do better, and where Copilot does better, but the more complex the situation the less i trust Snippets... but _also_ the less i trust Copilot.
It seems my trust in Copilot is very similar to that of use cases for Snippets. To throw out fake numbers, it makes me feel like Snippets (and tools like them) cover ~%70 of Copilot's use case. So i'm really curious on knowing what that %30 is, and if it is ever useful.

I suppose there's a (supposed) advantage that it's automatically finding and suggesting the snippet for you, rather than relying on you to think of it and recall the key binding, or know that it's there to such for.
