What differentiates GitHub Copilot from other similar products?

Its ease of implementation, support, the recommendations for code completion and generation are some of the few points that make it distinguished from its peer products.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect about Github Coplit is its completion/generation abilities. Such is its capability that, even when I am following a tutorial about a new tech-stack, it can automatically generate the exact same code as demonstrated by the teacher, using the same example, which really shows its machine learning prowess.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I think Copilot can improve further by showing at least 2 different auto-completion/generation previews instead of just one. Sometimes while coding, I need to add comment lines to play around with copilot so that it gives me new suggestions ,which makes it a bit unproductive sometimes. Hence the suggestion.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Although, using Github Copilot is a good thing as it saves time and inproves productivity, but we still shouldn't rely 100% on AI. We should have clear knowledge of the code auto-completed/generated by copilot as it may otherwise waste a lot of time of ours later, when we would need to integrate the code in other areas / when we would need to add new features whilst keeping the old ones.
