GitHub Copilot has seen an explosion in adoption and interest, amassing over 35 million installs in the VS Code marketplace — 3x more than the next most popular tool.

This isn't just a trend; it's a significant shift. The rapid growth of Copilot underscores just how quickly developers are embracing AI-powered tools.

This surge has been boosted by a growing ecosystem designed to support AI-native workflows within Copilot, including Copilot extensions, chat features, agentic capabilities, and a free plan for developers to explore its potential.

In the long term, turning this initial momentum into real, measurable productivity gains will be the ultimate benchmark for success.
