I've never found any of the autocompletion packages emacs had useful, mainly because their implementation continuously broke and they never felt solid. The story is completely different in visual studio code or visual studio for that matter.

Most autocomplete tools I’ve worked with were very solid and well implemented.

I did not find them useful because autocompletion while writing code is itself just not a useful tool conceptually, regardless of the quality of the tool.

Autocompletion for coding just doesn’t have any mainstream use cases or situations in which it can possibly be helpful. As a result, even very well made autocompletion tools cause trouble and hinder productivity.

On the other hand there can be niche, non-mainstream uses, like accessibility use cases for disabled people who have to use key entry mechanisms that make non-autocompletion key entry overly burdensome or slow.

The typescript completion works pretty well.
