Excuse me? I know tons of very skilled programmers who use it, simply because of the time it saves.

I use it regularly in C#, JS, CSS, and hell, C++ ocassionately.

It's not about using other people's code, it's about it saving time by generating pretty much the code I was already going to write (with pretty good accuracy too). Once you have enough knowledge, I see no difference in the code Copilot generates (at least, not any better quality/perf) than I would have written.

So yes, I cheer it on, and I love it. It has made my development life easier. 17+ years of coding, and this has been a big impact for me.
