I know this is very convenient. I also know that it stops people
from learning because they get the impression they can get by without it.
The feature is useful in times, but beginners will do themselves a
disservice when they start to rely on the feature.
Try a good overview document instead, and see how this adds to your
work.

When you base your work entirely on code completion, your application
runs the risk of becoming a program that has been "competioned"
into existence, a patchwork, more or less.
