FWIW I’ve been using CO pilot now for a while and I have to do very little laying out, usually just from a name and context it will give me 80% of what I want and then it’s much quicker for me to just edit it into the correct form if need be. My productivity has very heavily increased because of the amount of rote boiler plate I can now just completely obviate. I think you should be careful to realize that though it may not fit for you intellisense is very helpful for a lot of people and that it may be your tastes as to what you find annoying that do not generalize. I for one don’t even notice the things you’re saying bother you because the mental overhead to me is very little. Just quick glance, tab to auto complete if it’s useful otherwise keep typing.

What you're describing in terms of boilerplate can be done via snippets. Think of it like parenting. I can either convince the little tike to clean up his room or do it myself in half the time. Only with babysitting I may take the time to teach them something, with things like autopilot I have no such motivation. I don't even like autocompleting brackets and the like. It flat isn't consistent enough for me. It's ok-ish when writing fresh code, but completely gets in the way when editing code to the point that it's easier and faster for me to just disable it.
