If you're using completion to verify that a thing has the type you thought it has, then yes, Tern won't help you much. If you're using it to save keystrokes, it certainly will.
Slightly related, I'm working on a feature where it distinguishes wild guesses from probably correct information by showing a different icon in the completion list.

- larve 14y agoI love autocompletion (even when it is half working, like intellij when the inheritance marking annotations don't always follow through, my cleverly optimized jsdoc markup for backbone and co broke down when switching to idea12). It saves me so much time looking stuff up and APIs, and if it can indicate the number and name of arguments required, i usually don't have to use the docs anymore. And M-./find usages is very useful too, even when it is not perfect. I pledged, and hope you will get enough funds together.
