GitHub Copilot Still Feels Useless on Large, Messy Codebases

The poster argues that GitHub Copilot still feels useless on large, messy codebases and says what they really want is a Visual Studio plugin that can read existing code, explain it, and make small edits reliably. They contrast that with shallow output that sounds plausible but doesn’t actually help, and suggest current models like Claude Opus should be able to do it already.
