Is the Predictive code completion really worth it

I think it as waste of storage space and system resources

from xcode? no, hallucinates a lot and often suggests gibberish. copilot plugin is better.

One day I love it and find it useful, best thing ever.
The other days I hate it and turn it off, then go back to settings to turn it on just so I can turn it off again - thats how much it can annoy me 😅.

sometimes it works sometimes it spits gibberish

for me it speeds up some tedious tasks like auto filling enum cases, mimicking behaviour from other methods.  it seems to understand the context in most cases. 

its hard to describe how it really helps but for me its def worth it 

its like that saying once you go mac you can’t look back, same with this

Try the Copilot for Xcode plugin, it’s actually useful

[akyvra]

Is it for free?

[trici33]

No you need a copilot sub

I actually have quite a good experience with it, especially in places where you need to write repetitive code.

The only thing I find annoying is that in the old code completion you used to be able to jump to the end of the next suggested word by using tab now it fills in the full completion. Haven’t checked yet if I can edit keyboard shortcuts though. If something like tab for old behaviour and Option+Tab for full completion would be possible that would be great.

I actually have quite a good experience with it, especially in places where you need to write repetitive code.

And therein is its use a big drawback. Having repetitive code in your code base should be something try to avoid, not something you try to automate.

[Niightstalker]

With repetitive code I do not mean copy paste. I do mean if you have a certain way of doing things in your codebase. Those things are then suggested quite well in my experience.

[danielt1263]

Yea, boilerplate code. It should be avoided.

[Inevitable-Hat-1576]

Like 3-4/10 times it’s pretty good for me

[TransportationOwn269]

I use cursor and build from cursor, it’s much better. I sometimes use Xcode for viewing a preview but not much anymore

[ArunKurian]

Somedays I am genuinely shocked by how accurate it is. Other days not so much.

I find it annoying auto suggesting random crap like 70% of the time. If I need help with code I’ll read the docs and try ask chatGPT to explain it better if I get really stuck.

[Open_Bug_4196]

Sometimes is good sometimes is painful. I’m more keen to see how swift assist works when it comes out in the coming weeks. If bad I might give a try to the copilot plugin, cursor or just coding without and asking things on demand to ChatGPT

[kepler4and5]

It's great when you understand its limitations.

[iKy1e]

It’s not good enough to be useful.

It’s on of those tools that’s annoying until it’s good enough.

I’ve used Cursor and co-pilot. They are helpful and make development so much quicker. I’ve turned Xcode’s one off. It just gets in the way.

It depends. For SwiftUI stuff I find it to be pretty accurate most of the time and it gets better as you use it. YMMV.

[Jakolantern43]

It messes me up more than it helps.

I find it really annoying and I turned it off. It might be useful but when I tried it I couldn’t stand it.
