How is it wrong?

Do you have any hard number and data to state that tab/auto complete are less popular than agentic coding?



I would expect it to be almost tautologically true. It's the easiest to implement, and the most deployed. It has to be the most used, even if a lot of people don't know they're using it.

It was the original success of LLMs -- code autocomplete. All of the agentic coding have autocomplete under the hood. Autocomplete is almost literally what LLMs do + post-processing.
