Day-to-day coding on a platform that I already know, there not much of a difference. It might save me a few minutes here or there.

Where it does help is when I am learning something completely new. I can ask how to do something, get an example that may or may not work, but that often exposes me to a new way of doing things and gives me hints of what else to study to learn this new thing. That learning curve is significantly sped up.
