Visual C++ 6 was the first C(++) compiler I used. I'm fairly certain it had auto completion (Intellisense).

Casey Muratori would point out the debugger ran faster on hardware from the era than modern versions run on today's hardware, though I don't have a link to the side–by–side video comparison.

Edit: Casey Muratori showing off the speed of visual studio 6 on a Pentium something after ranting about it: Jump to 36:08 in https://youtu.be/GC-0tCy4P1U — earlier section of the video is how it is today (or when the video was made)

absolutely! When launching my editor today, it phones home, it checks location, it does everything that an editor SHOULDN'T DO. Not to mention the extensions...

Software today is a horrible bloated mess on top of horrible bloated messes.
