You can use it for just about anything that is text - it will complete configuration files, not just code, and even does a reasonable job a lot of the time writing method docs automatically. Thinking of it as just for code is already a narrow application. Sharing code examples is also of little relevance - just try it yourself and see if it fits your needs. The dollar/value ratio maps for my needs to avoid trips to docs or search engines for syntax confirmation - it may or may not for you.
If it gets it wrong sometimes I don't really care, all the time it takes is pressing tab to complete or not to complete if suggestion is garbage. It's just an extension to the tab key's functionality, which is why it's so easy to use every single day when it integrates to most text tools.
I also think if this is what we can have today, the future of code completion tools is very exciting.
