It's a massive distraction to me, and I refuse to have it turned on anywhere I can turn it off and will actively choose away software that forces it on me.

I can somewhat accept it showing an option if 1) it's the only one, 2) it's not rapidly changing with my typing. I know what I want to type before I type it or know I'm unsure what to type. In the former, a completion is only useful if it correctly matches what I wanted to type.

In the latter, what I'm typing is effectively a search query, and then completion on typing might not be so bad, but that's the exception, not the norm.
