I think few developers didn't already have powerful autocomplete engines at their disposal.

The AI autocomplete I use (Jetbrains) stands head-and-shoulders above its non-AI autocomplete, and Jetbrains' autocomplete is already considered best-in-class. Its python support is so good that I still haven't figured out how to get anything even remotely close to it running in VSCode

The Jetbrains AI autocomplete is indeed a lot better than the old one, but I can't predict it, so I have to keep watching it.

E.g. a few days ago I wanted to verify if a rebuilt DB table matched the original. So we built a query with autocomplete

SELECT ... FROM newtable n JOIN oldtable o ON ... WHERE n.field1<> o.field1 OR

and now we start autocompleting field comparisons and it nicely keeps generating similar code.

Until: n.field11<> o.field10

Wait? Why 10 instead of 11?

How's it compare against e.g. cursor?

		No idea, I have been playing around with Roo Code though and the agentic AIs fill a completely different role
