Copilot, as far as I know, also does not seem to factor in the greater context of the application/code you're in when auto-completing these tasks.

To me, this is a huge part of modern-day development. It's not only about producing functionally correct code, but also code that integrates well and is semantically relevant to the broader context of the application itself.

That doesn't mean Copilot's input will have no value, but it just means that developers will generally need to refactor that code in a way consistent with the app they're building.
