Ok so there are 3 microsoft products called copilot now. Surely this won’t confuse anyone
Are you including Github Copilot in that count? Technically that’s a Microsoft product. It’s probably the only Copilot that’s actually useful.
A controversial take. Every new feature added to Github has made it more unpleasant to use, and a lot of that is down to Copilot, for me. Only way to get rid of it is to wait for Github to go down again, which is the only thing it does reliably at the moment.

Free private repositories, Github Actions, and Github Packages are all pretty useful though. All of those were added under Microsoft’s ownership. Actions got a head start because it was built on top of Azure DevOps infra that Microsoft had already created.
Github actions are famously extremely trash…
Plenty of open-source projects that I use are happy with them though. I see far fewer projects using Travis CI and AppVeyor these days for example.
Do they use them because they’re "just there* and convenient, or do they actially like them?
And TBF I was largely referring to how poorly they’re written and performant, which you often don’t need to care about (until you do).
