Agreed, and also: the insane long version is just str-<Complete> and a couple arrow taps and it auto-completes.

So it's just as short, from a typing perspective. With a lot of free bonus clarity.

I lived through the bad years when Apple's dev tools were half-baked and made you almost pine for the first dot-com bubble when you were writing Java (but in IDEA IntelliJ, which made it almost worth it).

But today Xcode is state-of-the-art, at least in terms of autocomplete, and it makes a big difference.
