I think autocomplete is still in the early phase of evolution.
The problem with the CLI is it is TOO freeform, with fatfingers and the like. A better autocomplete that utilized more advanced character graphics would go a long way to making the CLI more natural.
Man page examples/sample are still inadequate even after ... ??? 40 years ???. Some analysis of grep use case frequency would probably help them a lot. I've given up looking for man pages for examples how to use a command in a specific way, StackOverflow and Google are better. But then you have to change to a different app, parse through search results, etc etc etc.
