Auto completion also has the perverse effect of APIs developers relying on its existence to build large APIs that would be hard to use without autocomplete. I once counted 232 methods for a UI button in Java available through the auto complete menu. There is just no way to use that API by RTFMing, but with auto complete, you can just search for what you need as you need it. Alot do the reason Java is the way it is is probably because auto completion gained in popularity at the same time it did. |
