True, upvoted. My point was that these facilities are of questionable value (I'd like to see how much time they really save, or indeed even lose when triggered accidentally), and that they have to be in easy control of the user. With MS there's too much "we invented it so you're getting it", and bad designers (who always outnumber good) will do the same. Actual example, was working with vis studio with another guy. Open a bracket and VS automatically added a closing bracket. That is fucking annoying and saves you a whole keystroke while breaking muscle memory and interfereing with our work. We had trouble turning that off.
