Dude, just try the things out. It's just undeniable in my day-to-day life that I've been able to rely on Sonnet (first 3.7 and now 4.0) and Gemini 2.5 to absolutely crush code. I've done 3 side projects in the past 6 months that I would have been way too lazy to build without these tools. They work. Never going back.

Why can't reviews of AI be somewhere in the middle between "useless" and "the second coming"?

I tried Copilot a few months ago just to give it a shot and so I could discuss it with at least a shred of experience with the tool, and yea, it's a neat feature. I wouldn't call it a gimmick--it deserves a little more than that, but I didn't exactly cream my pants over it like a lot of people seem to be doing. It's kind of convenient, like a smart autocomplete. Will it fundamentally change how I write software? No way. But it's cool.
