In SSMS and almost certainly many other SQL editors Intellisense works on the select list as soon as you have a working from clause, the only caveat being you can’t autocomplete columns reading when writing a statement purely left to right.

But I think that’s not a big deal at all, and the SQL approach has a certain advantage in putting the type of action (select/update/delete/drop etc) front and centre, which is really quite helpful.
