I also find Copilot to be rather underwhelming and half the time I find myself wishing it didn't go as overboard with the suggestions as it does. Sometimes it suggests exactly what I want to type and then adds a bunch of extra crap towards the end so it is the same amount of effort to type it manually or accept the suggestion and erase what I don't need.

Also its inability to match parens and braces/brackets is legendary. So annoying.

But! It is extremely helpful for filling in error messages. I don't think I wrote a `throw new ` line fully since I started using it. The quality and information density of my error messages has increased considerably.

Not sure if it is worth keeping for just that but it is a nice benefit.
