I think a lot of these are actually solvable problems today, Copilot just hasn't prioritized actually improving the product (don't need to improve the product for breakneck growth when you have github.com as a distribution channel!)
It feels like there are a lot of well-intended AI coding products that just don't pay attention to getting the details right. I actually started building my own extension recently, with an emphasis on getting all the little things right, because I got so frustrated at Copilot. Things like closing brackets properly, not interrupting me and destroying my train of thought when writing comments, not suggesting imports unless it's highly certain (or verified with intellisense), etc. Like why am I wasting my precious time talking to copilot chat with gpt3 when gpt4 exists?
It's still a pretty early version, and ultimately we're using the same underlying model for completion, but I think getting these details right make a huge difference (at least to my biased self).
If you want to try it: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=doublebot.doublebot https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=doublebo...
You'll need to install the pre-release version for auto-complete.
