Why waste the mental space, especially with something you don't know you'll be using again? Not to mention the fact that api documentation can be difficult to find or may not exist at all. The Autocomplete knows exactly what methods are available.

I wouldn't disagree about learning the libraries you use frequently, but I personally work on a huge stack with more than 80 dependencies and memorizing their api's just isn't time well spent.
