>Most developers hate AI coding tools

Not sure about that. If you go online and post anything disparaging AI you will definitely get a lot of support and +1's but my opinion is that there's a lot of noise from non-developers in these.

As in make a blog post "AI deleted my code" or "AI is worthless and slows me down, here's a very singular and specific example where this is true" and you'll be re-shared across the web with downvotes to the reasonable followup questions of "Just revert?" or "Don't use AI in that specific scenario?".

In the real world talking to peers i hear; "it's really good for getting out the boilerplate", "it's great for refactors", "it's pretty good at writing tests", "it one shot the UI implementation". Etc.

As in i hear measured praise and measured criticism for it that you just don't seem to get online. I guess that's true of any topic but AI and programming is something i know enough about to see the unreasonableness of these extremes.
