LLM auto-complete is good — it suggests more of what I was going to type, and correctly (or close enough) often enough that it’s useful. Especially in the boilerplate-y languages/code I have to use for $dayjob.

Search has been neutral. For finding little facts it’s been about the same as regular search. When digging in, I want comprehensive, dense, reasonably well-written reference documentation. That’s not exactly wide-spread, but LLMs don’t provide this either.

Chat-driven generates too much buggy/incomplete code to be useful, and the chat interface is seriously clunky.
