> I love entering “the zone” and solving complex problems, one at a time

This straight away sums up my experience too.. infarct for vscodrive had to even turn off copilot as, to me at least it feels so much more aggressive. It feels like it's trying to assume my intention constantly but auto completing. Like when someone will interrupt my conversation.

Visual studio is getting worse alsoas it will jump ahead of my point of focus and keep updating. This all very quickly becomes something to consider while working and thus prevents getting into the "zone"...

It's not good when trying to solve a problem so I turn it off.if I'm starting a new project and need boilerplate, then sure. The promise is long gone.

Completely agree with automatic suggestions.

It throwing in a completely wrong suggestion throws off my mental state which knew exactly what it wanted. The rare times it guesses “right” (and never more than a few tokens) does not make up for it.

Of course, turning this off is hard - the settings to disable it have been mysteriously “renamed” and obfuscated a couple of times recently, to the point that I’ve just uninstalled it across all my installs.
