How long did it take for you to get used to the autocomplete?
I completely hated it when I tried it out. It breaks my flow. Those weird pauses are so painful. Feels like someone grabbing the steering wheel while I am driving.
I heavily use the agent mode but I don't understand the appeal of the autocomplete feature but maybe I am missing something.
You spent 20 years without autocomplete? I started using Eclipse's autocomplete & shortcut macros in 2002.
It is fascinating to me how much of the enthusiasm around AI seems to be the result of people not knowing about/using the deterministic tools that already exist.
AI autocomplete can generate the entire `match` tree for a very complex Rust enum, and also generate all of the associated tests. It then takes me to the next places in the code where changes need to be made. It's wildly good at knowing exactly what I want to do next.
2002 macros and autocomplete were not that and cannot possibly be compared in the same light.
I spent 20 years without it. That's enough for one lifetime.
