"Effortless IDE Integration That Speeds Up C# and ASP.NET Development"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

The tight integration with Visual Studio and VS Code makes GitHub Copilot feel like an effortless extension of the IDE rather than an intrusive third-party add-on. In daily C# and ASP.NET API development, it delivers its greatest value in boilerplate reduction and unit testing. It accurately anticipates DTO mappings, controller endpoints, and repetitive mock setups in xUnit with minimal prompting. The inline suggestion speed is instantaneous, keeping you locked in the flow state, and it frequently eliminates the need to switch out to documentation for complex LINQ queries or regular expressions. Overall, it saves hours of mechanical typing each sprint without degrading code control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

The main drawback of GitHub Copilot lies in its limited context awareness across large, multi-project enterprise solutions. In structured .NET codebases with dozens of dependencies, it tends to pull context only from currently open tabs rather than the full repository architecture, often leading to suggestions that ignore internal shared libraries or domain models. Additionally, it occasionally hallucinates non-existent NuGet package methods or proposes deprecated framework idioms, which increases review overhead to catch subtle edge cases like missing null checks or unhandled async exceptions. Better whole-solution semantic indexing and stricter target-framework boundaries would significantly reduce the need to constantly police generated code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We struggled with spending nearly a third of our sprint capacity writing repetitive ASP.NET boilerplate, mapping DTOs, and manually assembling extensive xUnit mock test suites. Now, with GitHub Copilot integrated directly into our IDEs, we can auto-generate repetitive scaffolding and boundary test cases with simple inline tab completions. This has resulted in a 25v30% reduction in mechanical coding time saving approximately 1 to 1.5 hours per developer each day while significantly cutting down external documentation searches for LINQ and regex syntax. The primary business benefit is faster PR turnaround and more mental focus directed toward core business logic and system stability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
