There are tools to find duplicate code already; extension to verify sections are not part of copyrighted code? Nice.

Get in the way of a developer doing their thing? Such as copy a bunch of lines where one word needs changing, or something else of that kind? I'm already reaching for the uninstall button. Eject the damn thing already.

Company requires me to use it? CV polishing time.
