I fear for the future of working with copy/paste programmers, but then my fears are probably unfounded because after all, this uses the Bing search engine. Sear

  I don't think I'm a terrible programmer, but I still have to look up how to read a file line by line in C#, Python or whatever language I happen to be using. I think this is a great editor feature. Copy/paste programmers already exist and they're probably not going to find something that's hosted on research.microsoft.com.

  The problem is that only part of a solution to a problem is really in your control. Each has a potentially very large number of solutions, most of them are equivalent (renaming of variables, isomorphic control flow etc.), but some are inequivalent. For example in Haskell you could at least use iostreams, pipes, conduit or lazy io to solve the read file in and print its lines. You can't expect a developer to be familiar with every choice the Library implementors made, especially since lots of libraries do not really have stellar documentation.
