Visual Studio 1997 was the first IDE to really do code completion well, but that was also inline with the Java era.

- cyberax 2y agoYes, and there was also VisualAge for Java around that time. IDEA and Eclipse were among the first IDEs that modeled the complete source code with 100% fidelity, so you could rely on their analyses of usages to do automated refactoring. And they worked by parsing plain text source files, instead of keeping the code in a special database like in VisualAge.
