I just canceled Copilot and I'm more productive now that I'm not hesitating and waiting to see if Copilot does something.
COPILOT PROS
- Good at boilerplate
- Good at unit tests
- Fairly good at pasting from Stack Overflow
CONS
- Most of the time it does nothing
- Large code blocks pop in and out while I'm typing, which is distracting
- Sometimes it correctly guesses what I want, but the code is completely wrong with non-existent variable and method names
- Visual Studio has 3 or 4 other "helpers" and they can seemingly all active at once, making hard to even see what I'm doing (Intellisense, Intellicode, CodeLens, ???)
EDIT: I include writing prompts and reviewing Copilot output as hesitating/breaking flow.
