Early Copilot was tab-complete in editors and was honestly the best version of LLM-assisted development I've used, because it was intentionally small in scope, trivial to verify output from at a glance and easy to opt in and opt out of. I have yet to see anything more useful in terms of code generation; very small-scale code generation (think function-level) comes close, but is a lot more tedious.

For analysis, bug hunting, overview and some porting work to popular languages and so on I think the current SotA is fantastic, but they're still very disappointing for code generation past function or small module level.
