Have been using Copilot in the beta and it's just been amazing. I can't remember how many times my jaw has literally dropped as it knows what I'm trying to do, or yelled "Holy sh*t!" as it feels like it's reading my mind.

That said, was highly disappointed with the switch to non-free. Maybe they never did say it would remain free, but they certainly didn't advertise it wouldn't be later. I feel bait-and-switched.

Yes, $10/mo. isn't a lot if you're getting paid to work, but if you're developing on side projects that aren't (yet?) making any revenue, it's kinda a dealbreaker.

Not really, $10 is reasonable even if you’re a hobbyist who never expects to generate any revenue.
Reasonable doesn’t mean a hobbyist would pay $100/year for this. That’s not pocket money for most of the world.
Have you ever thought that hobbyists exists outside US and Europe?
I live in Iran, one of the worst economics of the world. 10$ is 4 meals and it's still worth it imho.
Iran's economy is still doing good comparing to many countries of the world.
