One problem I’ve always had with Copilot is that it tends to introduce extra parentheses and braces. Say I already have a pair of braces for a function body, and Copilot decides to write the whole function, it will write everything including the closing brace, leaving me with an extra and a syntax error to fix. It really shouldn’t be that hard to tell I already have a closing brace, especially when they’re already considering the suffix.

I had to disable Copilot for Clojure because of this. Structural editing relies on parens being always balanced, and gets confused when Copilot re-inserts already existing closing parens.
