I downloaded this and tried it out, and it's definitely pretty. I just can't come up with any situation where I'd actually use it to write code.
Try pulling up a source file. Any file, any language. Type in the name of one of your objects, then a period, then hit CTRL+SPACE. What comes up? A list of strings that contain your object name, picked by matching text from the source.
Really? In 2011??? Why are people still using text editors that autocomplete based on text? Why are people still getting excited about them?
Editors have been background compiling and autocompleting based on context for over 10 years now. If you write code for a living, you should be using one. It will make your life easier by an order of magnitude.
I think we've moved past the point where we need to treat code as if it were simply text. Unfortunately for this cool editor, it doesn't really have a place in my world today.
