I totally agree with you; I think it is barbaric to code without smart autocompletion. I think to eventually get there, though, we need open-source solutions to get as good as JetBrains, Microsoft, and Apple. Otherwise you get Apple's great (for Obj-C only) CodeSense, but you have to use their horrible, auto-corrupting, fucking disgrace of an IDE. Or to get RubyMine's absolutely unparalleled Ruby code introspection and completion, you have to use their gut-wrenchingly horrible Java monstrosity. When the indexing and completion are decoupled from the editing environment, that's the magic sauce that will make the open source solutions fork and flourish, and good completion will finally be like toilet paper and hot water. That's why I am really happy with editors ilk ST2 which provide good infrastructure to make things like SublimeCodeIntel possible. I'm 37, I program a lot, and my finger joints are wearing out. Typing every single fucking character of code is insane.
