    Copilit is fantastic at the following: 1. Solving simple, well-defined problems, such as implementing an algorithm, manipulating a data structure, or string manipulation and regex. 2. Implementing simple APIs that are mainly CRUD in nature, with moderate business logic inside them, which may involve some processing or passing the data through an algorithm. 3. Implementation of well-defined activities, such as implementing a connection to an Oracle DB using Hibernate or JDBC, or implementing boilerplate code for a backend service to listen to Kafka events. It is not that great when it comes to understanding and implementing code in a proprietary DSL. It struggles when implementing a major feature across a complex codebase. I believe developers should also adopt the trust-but-verify paradigm when expecting highly secure or regulated code from GitHub Copilot.

    I highly recommend its usage in Teams meetings to prepare a session transcript, meeting minutes,
    next steps and recognize speech by person. Also within the meeting recording, there is separation between the people talking at the time. The Copilot image creation is very accurate and useful to
    customize my PowerPoint presentations and other documents

    Cons
    GitHub
    • The only issue I faced is the context token size, it can be increase.
    • Sometime with agent mode it takes too much time, which can be reduced but I understand it also depends on the complexity of the given task.

    • The quality of image generation in Microsoft Copilot could be improved. Compared to other AI platforms, Copilot's images often fall short in quality and frequently contain typos.
    • When generating agents and chatbots, Microsoft Copilot currently doesn't appear to support file download functionality.
    • The email reply function is useful, but the responses can sometimes be overly elaborate. It would be helpful to have more options for adjusting the tone.

    Usability
    GitHub
    I feel that GitHub Copilot's overall usability is good due to its tight integration with Visual Studio and the workspace. However, developers expect greater ease of use, as there is a learning curve to realize productivity gains with the tool fully. I think there is room for improvement in GitHub Copilot's UI integration within Visual Studio.

    I give this rating because of the utilization I do with the product and the level security it provides which is very good. In our organization it is best suited as we have all other Microsoft tools with us. The offering made by Microsoft is great, I gave 9 out of 10 as sometimes it hallucinates as well.

    It is useful that copilot integrates so well with vscode, which is a very common IDE. I used Tabnine for a little while but it was not that intuitive, and did not seem as helpful as GitHub copilot was. I have enjoyed GitHub copilot a lot, especially the ease of hitting the tab key and seeing quick progress in my tasks.

    We needed a tool where secure data was not submitted to servers to process as we have some health care related data to keep private. We also needed to be able to test this tool without committing first to see if it is a fit and Microsoft provided this easily to us.

    • Our ROI of the purchase of Copilot was met in less than a day. The timesave cannot be overstated
    • Programmer boredom/dissatisfaction is down because of less repetetive crud work.
