Well we are all doing different tasks on different codebases too. It's very often not discussed, even though it's an incredibly important detail.

But the other thing is that, your expectations normalise, and you will hit its limits more often if you are relying on it more. You will inevitably be unimpressed by it, the longer you use it.

If I use it here and there, I am usually impressed. If I try to use it for my whole day, I am thoroughly unimpressed by the end, having had to re-do countless things it "should" have been capable of based on my own past experience with it.

Absolutely nuts I had to scroll down this far to find the answer.Totally agree.

Maybe it's the fact that every software development job has different priorities, stakeholders, features, time constraints, programming models, languages, etc. Just a guess lol
