I've been using GitHub Copilot since it was in early preview. I still have it turned on in VS Code. Sometimes I have a spotty Internet connection and it fails to return any completions. I barely notice when that happens. If my text editor stopped doing syntax highlighting or communicating with my language server, I'd notice right away. It would seriously impact my productivity to a point that I'd be looking for a new editor. But the completions I get from Copilot don't have that much value, and I don't consider them an essential part of my programming life. They help with reducing the amount of text I need to input manually, but rarely do they help me solve any real problems or generate novel insights. The article is correct. Most of the time, Copilot is just replacing Google search or StackOverflow for me. And even then, the information it returns is sometimes outdated and doesn't cover programming languages that aren't very popular (e.g Raku).
