"A Genuine Productivity Booster for .NET Development in Visual Studio"

5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft Copilot?

As a backend .NET developer, Microsoft Copilot has been a genuine productivity booster. It integrates seamlessly into my Visual Studio workflow, helping me generate boilerplate C# code, scaffold REST API endpoints, and write unit tests faster. The context-aware suggestions for Entity Framework queries and LINQ expressions save me significant time. It also helps me document code and explain complex logic clearly to team members, which is invaluable when leading a development team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Copilot?

Sometimes Copilot suggestions are overly generic and don't fully respect the existing project architecture or coding conventions. For complex C# backend scenarios — like custom middleware, advanced Entity Framework configurations, or microservices patterns — the suggestions occasionally need significant rework. It can also be slow to respond during peak hours, which interrupts the development flow. Better context retention across files in large solutions would be a major improvement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before using Copilot, writing repetitive boilerplate code for REST APIs, Entity Framework models, and unit tests consumed a significant portion of our development time. Now, Copilot accelerates that process considerably. As a team lead managing both backend and frontend developers, it also helps me quickly review and explain code logic, reducing onboarding time for new team members and improving overall team velocity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
