People love to cargo-cult. It's wild. It was okay but I'm happier with ChatGPT for one-off things I don't know how to do "give me a sql query that does this obscure thing" etc..
It's okay that it didn't fit well into your workflow, but accusing those who use it of cargo culting isn't constructive. Other people don't have the same workflow as you do, and as simonw noted above, some of us actually adjusted our workflow to get the most out of Copilot.
