"GitHub Copilot: A Practical Productivity Booster for Developers"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

It reduces the small and time-consuming parts of day-to-day coding. As a senior software Engineer, I find it very useful for generating boilerplate code, writing unit test skeletons, explaining unfamiliar code and with quick refactoring. It integrates smoothly with VSCode.

I, use the UI/UX for genrative AI discussions and Agent mode for reproducing bugs and finding solutions. My work performance has increased significantly. It definitely justifies the pricing and the onboarding is also seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

I see the solutions are not always accurate or production ready. Manier times I have to carefully review the logic, starting impact, edge cases and whether it follows our project standards.

Another concern is that recently (Specifically from 2nd June, 2026) more tokens have started been consuming. So, Copilot is useful, but if pricing or token consumption becomes high, then the value needs to be justified properly. So overall, I like Copilot, but it works best as an assistant, not as a replacement for engineering judgment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitHub Copilot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Previously, for small things like writing boilerplate code, unit test skeletons, parsing logic, error handling, or checking syntax, I had to spend time searching, reading examples, and then adapting them. Copilot gives me a quick starting point directly inside the IDE itself which saves time and keeps me in the coding flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
