Devs that are punching above their class, however, probably get great benefit from it. I would think it’s also an OK learning tool, except for how inaccurate it can be sometimes.
I use it occasionally. Recently I used it to convert a written specification in a document to a java object. And it was like 95% correct - but having to manually double check everything and fix the errors eliminated much of the time savings.
However that's a very ideal use case. Most often I forget it exists.
I use it a fair bit. Mind, it's something like formating a giant json stdout into something I want to read...
I also do find it's useful for sketching out an outline In pseudo code.
