As I often say, gravity should always be down. Tools like IDEs, autocomplete, search, etc. should be completely deterministic. The same action should always end in the same result. The reason for this is that the IDE is an extension of the arm. The brain literally treats it as an extension of its own capabilities though processes like transactive memory. It can only reliably integrate and achieve a state of deep flow if it can form a reliable model of your external brain. If actions don't always give the same result, there's no model to integrate.
