I found copilot most useful as an code editing assistant. A smart `sed` of sort.

Moving code around a loop, extracting a series of variables etc.

Like a sibling comment I also find it useful to complete the end of the line.

As for writing code, it mostly produces very convincing looking code at a glance, but full of shit on a second look.

But as a smart completion and local refactoring tool, I really find it useful.
