Not enough credit is given to Visual Studio's Autocomplete feature. It seriously is unmatched, and to me is one of the reasons why C# is very pleasant to work with.

Except when you're not coding C#. Then it ranges from somewhat usable to utter lunacy.
Have you tried VS2012 ? Give it a try for C++ and you will see that the autocomplete works great.
I did try it. It is certainly better than before. That is, it's usable now. Nowhere near Eclipse/Java, XCode/Ocj-C or VS/C#, though.

Usually, I tend to ignore it more often than I actually find it useful. Even some simplistic look-for-common-words-in-open-buffers in regular text editors works better in my experience.

That said, add Visual Assist X and it's a different ball game.

Just use clang_complete with vim
Also have you tried the PowerShell 3 ISE?
