Review Github Copilot?

Reviewers mostly see GitHub Copilot as a strong productivity aid that keeps coding flow intact, suggests useful snippets from context, and helps developers learn languages, frameworks, and patterns faster. It seems especially effective in mature codebases with clear conventions, and several users say it has improved notably over time. Still, feedback is not uncritical: suggestions can be generic, need refinement, and sometimes feel buggy or more annoying than helpful. Overall, reviewers value it most as a fast draft and problem-solving assistant, not a flawless autopilot.

For a mature codebase that has developed "patterns" and well defined code structures, this tool is a massive productivity booster. Just tell it what you want and it does a pretty flawless job converting your thoughts to code.

Using GitHub Copilot has transformed my development experience. It’s not just a productivity boost—it represents a fundamental shift in how I approach coding. Before Copilot, much of my focus was on mastering language and framework specifics. One of its biggest advantages is that I no longer need to spend as much time memorizing framework syntax or language quirks. Copilot suggests relevant code snippets based on context, allowing me to focus on problem-solving rather than syntax details. This has been especially helpful when switching between languages or working with unfamiliar frameworks. By handling repetitive tasks, Copilot frees me to spend more time thinking about business logic and deepening my domain knowledge. Instead of getting bogged down in writing mundane code, I can concentrate on creating better solutions and improving the overall architecture of my projects.

It sometimes acts like it's not made to code. It's buggy. I like the auto complete but still it's sometimes quite a bit more of an annoyance than help.

After using Copilot and Restsocket, creating REST APIs became so much easier. With Restsocket generating the initial code based on the DB and Copilot helping with the logic, I was able to build my server incredibly fast!

I use GitHub Copilot in IntelliJ to explain and learn Java . With VS Code Insiders I sometimes tap its suggestions but mostly only use it if stuck. Suggestions typically need refinement yet often spark solutions. This tool streamlines development and helps me explore solutions quicker.

copilot has really caught up. I remember it being really bad to use last year, but now its almost as good as cursor.

Getting better for large codebase. Right now it is one project specific. Would be great if somehow it can be riggedup for fullstack

GitHub Copilot has become an essential part of my workflow; it saves time by suggesting accurate code snippets and helps me stay in flow while coding. I love how it understands context and works smoothly across languages in VS Code. Sometimes, the suggestions can be off or too generic, but overall, it keeps improving with use. It’s great for boosting productivity and learning new coding patterns. Definitely worth trying for any developer looking to code smarter, not harder.
