Can't code without it
Copilot has become essential to my workflow. The completions are scary good sometimes, and Copilot Chat helps me understand unfamiliar code instantly.

Great productivity boost
Saves me significant time on boilerplate and tests. Occasionally suggests outdated patterns, so I always review. The chat feature is the real highlight.
