Yep. It can refactor very well but that's it. For complex code bases it cannot even build boilerplate that makes sense; at most it saves some typing.

Can it though? I thought it was most useful for writing new code, but have so far never had it correctly refactor existing code. Its refactoring attempts usually change behavior / logic, and sometimes even leave the code in a state where it's even harder to read.
