I jump around languages and solutions a fair bit so I use it in place of Google + API docs. "I need to do X with this language, in this stack, what APIs are available?". I find I get better results than Google and some of the more wordy, dispersed docs (.net, anything Apple).

I have tried copilot in my IDE, but I just don't see the value. About 50% of the time the suggestions are not useful or correct, 50% of the time the suggestions are what I was typing which is exactly what code completion does.
