What more would you want?

It provides a functionality that's usually requested by users, so I'm
surprised you'd ask.
We don't have enough infrastructure support in general for "advanced"
editing functionality such as type/scope-aware completion. So we have
various add-on thingies (like company-mode, cedet, and auto-complete)
which provide such support for specific modes, but really these should
move to core, so that major modes can themselves provide support for
such completion.
I've done some of that with completion-at-point-functions and moving
some company-<foo>.el to <foo>-mode.el, but there's a lot more to do.
