I must disagree on the part that copilot isn't suitable for beginners!

I think it's helpful for beginners to have an assistant helping them out with syntax. I find it easier to use copilot to get the correct syntax. Often I know what I want/need, but not how to type the syntax from a to z.

Copilot saves me the 'burden' of looking this up on boring documentation sites or reading through long Stackexcange threads. It saves energy that I then can use to understand the code better or look up how something works! Ultimately I'm learning quicker with my copilot assistant handing me the syntax.
