Being able to think as you type instead of having to context switch between the two seems like a clear benefit. I think a lot of things programmers hate - boilerplate code, long variable names, code formatting - can also be attributed at least partially to the burden of typing them. Those are solved by IDEs, but you'd be surprised at how many programmers are still rawdogging their editor environments as though it was Notepad. This is where Copilot is pretty helpful, you don't have to learn or configure anything, it just works.
