This thread is filled with anecdata so I'll provide mine.. I didn't enjoy using copilot that much. Or gpt. But it could just be due to ingrained coding habits. I find that when I code I'm thinking mostly about design problems. By the time I know how I want to code something the effort to actually do the typing in is the easy part and rather enjoyable. With copilot it was rather good at filling in sections of code but that changed the experience of composing code to having it autocomplete stuff, I would check its logic. Sometimes I would still realize I needed to redesign something so I would have to axe or modify what copilot had wrote. I just didn't find that flow to be enjoyable. I tend to believe it's a matter of practice to get the most out of these AI systems. Just like someone on a scooter needs to learn to kick off with their feet, glide and steer. However for me I still need to feel the ground beneath my feet
