I'm glad the author points out that there are aspects to Copilot that are usable. A lot of other critics haven't been so kind.
Many complaints about Copilot remind me of the old Louis CK sketch where people complain about flying: YOU'RE SOARING THROUGH THE HEAVENS IN AN ALUMINUM TUBE. YOUR ANCESTORS WOULD'VE DIED OF DYSENTERY DOING THIS TRANSCONTINENTAL JOURNEY. Let's have some context here!
Sure, it's not remotely close to perfect and it's going to take a long, long, long time for it to get there. But still, there's something about Engelbart-ian about seeing the demo when it works perfectly.
