For me Copilot saves a sizeable chunk of coding time. That said, it might be because of my style. I often prefer writing repetitive dumb code, so Copilot fits perfectly, auto-completing obvious code which still must be written. Before Copilot I often used things like vim macroses, regex search&replace, multiple cursors and so on, but of course they take more time that hitting "<Tab>". At the same time Copilot is very smart at getting patterns and in my experience absolutely reliable, it never makes simple things wrong.
Also I can note, that some languages are just naturally fit for Copilot, one of them is Go with its constant `if err != nil` incantations.
