Yeah. The difference though between it being "notable" and "meh" is that you were getting ready to type code that's already pre-existing, character for character. It's pretty impressive at what it does... The example that you gave though is an example of it giving you code that was probably used, verbatim, in it's AI training samples. Which honestly isn't all that impressive that it was able to guess that.
I mean, the autocompletion features are notable. Just more notable if you're coding something fresh or "off the cuff". It suggesting premade code that you're typing off a guide ... Not as much.
Joe, it's been a while since you were a student, right? I was thinking to comment something like you, but when I do they call me a****le and I end up in pointless argues with students and juniors.
On a side note: TabNine and Codota are similar to CoPilot and I ended up uninstalling both. I still don't have strong opinion about CoPilot yet.
Not much value when you are usually the person answering the questions on StackOverflow including your own. It was burning CPU cycles and slowing down my computer without anything that useful. Decided I like the classic-style autocomplete better.

What would you consider being a notable feature of this tool?

Why did you uninstall them?

You are on a different level altogether! :D
