Can any users give their opinion on how it's helping their productivity? What problems are they finding, if any?

It does the boring code for me.

If I want to throw an exception if an object is null or undefined, Co-pilot will do the if and the exception throw using the right error class, and a more meaningful error message that what I usually came up with.

If want to map some random technical data table to something useful in my programming language, I can copy paste the data from the documentation in pdf or html into a comment block, give an example, and co-pilot will write everything in the format I want.

If I want to slightly refactor some code, I can do it once or twice and co-pilot can help me a lot to refactor the remaining.

If I want to have a quick http server in nodejs, I don't have to Google anything.

It's a lot of tiny things like this.

This is the kind of thing I would need to see in real time, because I simply can't believe that it does any of these things in a way that is reliable and doesn't involve having to search through and make sure it hasn't made any mistakes, taking just as much time as if you did it by hand.
