It speeds up development with intelligent autocomplete and code generation. By analyzing your current file and open tabs and using that context in its prompts, it can better help understand the relevant logic and provide more accurate code completions wrt to that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because it’s model-specific, it ends up consuming more tokens, which limits the overall user experience. Want something solid about token control to optimize the token usage accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The agent mode in VS Code has fundamentally changed how I handle my day-to-day work supporting complex enterprise platform issues. I use it constantly for:

- Debugging payments & billing issues - When investigating payment failures, invoice discrepancies, or billing escalations, Copilot helps me trace through transaction flows, search for related Jira tickets from similar past incidents, draft investigation summaries, and identify patterns across cases. It keeps track of the troubleshooting steps I've already tried so I don't go in circles.

- Triaging LBP and platform escalations - Copilot helps me analyze repro steps, determine correct routing (e.g., distinguishing Online Jobs issues from LBP based on user-facing workflows vs. enterprise identifiers), and document findings. It retains the routing logic I've taught it so I don't re-explain our criteria every time.

- Jira ticket management - I create, update, search, and link Jira issues directly from my editor. Instead of context-switching to the browser and filling out 10 fields, I describe what I need in plain English and Copilot handles creation with proper categorization, adds comments, links related issues, and transitions statuses.

- Knowledge base maintenance - I use it to search and update our Confluence documentation - drafting troubleshooting guides from raw case notes, keeping routing rules current, and structuring KB articles so the whole team benefits.

- D365 case categorization - Copilot helps me remember and consistently apply complex routing rules (which Reason/Reason Details map to which team, how page type conversions route, etc.) across hundreds of cases.

The MCP integrations mean I have a single pane of glass for code, tickets, docs, Slack, and internal tooling - all without leaving VS Code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally it can be overly cautious - asking for confirmation on things I'd prefer it just did. Context window limits mean that on very large debugging sessions with extensive logs or long payment transaction traces, you sometimes need to re-orient it. The inline suggestions in non-agent mode can be hit-or-miss with internal/proprietary systems, though agent mode solves this by actively gathering context first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inline suggestions that never break my flow and make it feel completely natural.

I'll start typing a function name and Copilot fills in the entire body, often exactly what I had in my mind. Also, the chat feature (Copilot Chat) is very underrated. When I need to debug a module I wrote three weeks ago and barely remember, asking Copilot "what is this function doing and where might it break?" gives a genuinely useful answer, better than Googling the error message.

It occasionally gets overconfident with framework-specific code. I've had it suggest deprecated Next.js patterns or generate Mongoose query syntax that was slightly off. Always needs a review pass , you can't accept suggestions blindly.

Also, on large monorepo projects, it sometimes loses context and starts suggesting code that contradicts what's defined two files away. Better cross-file awareness would make it 10/10 tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub copilot is really helpful for speeding up coding and routine tasks. As someone who uses it frequently, I like how it suggests code while I'm typing and helps with small functions, syntax or repetitive parts of the code. The UI feels clean and blends well into tools like VS Code and the integrations with different IDEs make it very convenient to use. It saves time, reduces manual effort and helps maintain a smooth workflow when working on scripts or development tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One slight downside of GitHub copilot is that the suggestions are not always accurate so I still need to review and adjust the code instead of relying on it completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Copilot has managed to develop into a fully agentic tool, which is great for agentic coding and development. It’s no longer just an AI assistant, and that completely changes how I can use it day to day. Support for MCP servers, skills, agnets.md, and similar pieces also makes it easier to use alongside other agentic tools.

The UI is fairly intuitive, and I like how it’s directly wired into VS Code. It doesn’t feel like “just an extension” anymore; it feels like a core feature of VS Code now.

The usage limits are also really generous considering the pricing, especially when you compare them to Claude Code, for example. Copilot clearly wins here for me by a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the data retention policy for Copilot coding agents and Copilot CLI. The retention period is far too long, especially given how much sensitive information is being shared, such as source code. I think they should reconsider this and make changes. It’s not that I don’t trust GitHub, but given the industry I work in, the idea that our data could be stored somewhere for extended periods of time is unacceptable.

Very good Integrations as it's connect most product that a developer like me used like Github, VSCode, Vercel... UI / UX pretty good too, easy to use. AI / Intelligence is not so good, they removed Opus 4.6 over Pro Plan, and pushing subscription to a higher plan price just to use Opus of Claude.

Performance quiet good, I have nothing to complaint as they stable, and always up. Support helpful. Yeah Github Copilot hấ built-in with vscode is so great to coding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They suddenly removed Claude model on their Pro Copilot Plan, and pushing subscription to a higher plan price just to able use some Opus model of Anthropic and Claude. Suddendly increase pricing and remove model from copilot pro that upset our developer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its ability to speed up development by providing context aware code suggestions, reducing repetitive coding tasks, and helping me explore new frameworks and APIs more efficiently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

while GitHub copilot is very helpful, its suggestions are not always accurate or optimized. It can sometimes generate outdated patterns, insecure code, or solutions that don't fully match the intended logic. The generated code still requires careful review, testing, and validation before use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, the biggest win for me is the time it saves. The autocomplete is scarily good — it doesn't just finish a line, it'll suggest entire functions based on a comment I wrote.

It also keeps me in flow. I'm not jumping to Stack Overflow every few minutes for syntax help, especially in languages I don't use daily.

And writing tests? Way less painful now. Copilot handles a lot of that grunt work.

Overall, it just makes me a faster developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The suggestions are sometimes just wrong. Like confidently wrong. If you're a junior dev and you don't catch it, that bad code is going into production.

It also struggles with complex logic. Simple stuff it nails, but anything highly specific to your business logic — it kind of falls apart.

Privacy is a concern too. Your code is being sent to external servers, which is a dealbreaker for some companies with sensitive codebases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub Copilot helps us troubleshoot coding issues and suggests possible next steps when we encounter errors. It assists with code reviews, optimization, and generating code, which helps improve developer productivity. It can also provide recommendations for performance optimization and, in some cases, help identify opportunities to optimize costs. One of its key advantages is its seamless integration with Visual Studio Code, making it easy to use within the development environment. Additionally, it can assist in building UI/UX components by generating code and design suggestions. Since my company provides the subscription, I am not familiar with its pricing plans.

Not really. It has been very helpful in my day-to-day work. It assists with code generation, debugging, code reviews, and optimization, which helps improve productivity and reduces development time. Overall, I have had a positive experience using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the power of Copilot for GitHub is a true force multiplier and is especially powerful, given the richness of the GitHub context. Some other fantastic features are the ability to choose from a wide range of models, so that you can find the one best suited to the task at hand. For coding, being able to save and refine prompts for reuse is also an incredible efficiency and produtivity driver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

probably the ease with which a pilot/person can burn through tokens. it takes some training and awareness on best practices and how to actually use the tool, so that it isn't very incredibly cost-ineffective. there are not a lot of guardrails to prevent uninformed or untrained users from wasting resources. also, because it's such a powerful tool, it is probably easier for users to assume that it's always free from mistakes and errors and gives a false sense of false security.
