I think GitHub Copilot (and LLMs for coding more generally) are best seen as a complement to traditional IDE completion.
Textual word completion is useful even when you have type-aware method completion. Copilot feels like a more powerful case of word completion.

I'm not sure if I should use the term "text diff" or "textual diff" to refer to a conventional, line-oriented diff of text in difftastic.
Any opinions? Which seems clearer to you?
I've released difftastic 0.59! In this release:
* Fixed a nasty crash on textual files
* Added F# and device tree support
* Improved comment syntax highlighting (especially for Elm)
I've released difftastic 0.42! In this release:
* Faster textual diffing (over 10x if files have few lines in common!)
* There's now a syntactic diffing option --ignore-comments, for when you only want to see code changes
