Autocompletion I don't like - it reminds me of
my VB5, Eclipse, MS SQL Server, and .net days
(which all were few but traumatic) - for sure,
in Emacs it is much better, as with TAB it
happens at your discretion, and not instantly,
all the time, and everywhere!

Still, 1) I don't like to see the "false hits"
as it takes 1 per mille of the mindfulness to
see "something-gnus", when you look for
"something-groff", and 2) I like to think my
memory improves from memorizing either the long
names, or, if too long, my aliases which are
shorter and should click with my memory better
as 1) I wrote them, and 2) the correspond to
my thinking.

Now this message is 1) written, and 2) sent.
