Fair point, it's my biggest gripe with Vim's autocomplete--which I love. That being said when it works, it's more efficient than any other autocomplete I've seen in a text editor, since it's practically the shell's autocomplete.

Once again, valid reasoning, but that's not the point. No one (at least I hope not) is seriously advocating TUI's for graphic design, we're talking about editing text, and that's where Vim excels.
