I really have problems with Sublime Text's autocomplete, to such an extent that I can't quite be sure whether it's a net gain or loss. If I was sure either way, it wouldn't be a problem, of course — I'm pretty sure it's easy to turn off altogether, if that's what you want. A common example is copying some PHP source code into a new file, then entering "<?php" at the very top of the file. If I'm working quickly and do the natural thing (i.e. hit ENTER afterwards), I end up with "<?phpversion" and I either have to manually delete it, or do a cmd-z dance. Or I have to remember to press RIGHT after "<?php" instead of ENTER. Many other similar examples (quote characters often seem to cause a problem). But, on the other hand, I know I've made use of autocomplete to help me type a long constant name which happened to be in the same file. So ... swings and roundabouts.
