Brilliant. My only concern is that the completion suggestions could cover text on other lines that I might be looking at, but I suppose this will serve to encourage me to stay out of insert mode unless necessary.

Edit: Compared to other Vim plugins the installation is a pain in the ass, but it really is as quick as it claims, even on my whoa-fully underpowered eeepc.

One suggestion: when I use SuperTab the name of the file that the suggestion is coming from appears to the right of the suggestion. That would be rather nice to have in this as well, if possible. Otherwise this is perfect, I think I'm finally done with SuperTab.

Edit 2 (sorry): This seems to be ignoring words that are in comments, and not completing anything when editing a comment. Is this toggle-able behavior?

autocomplop[1] is easier to install, but not as sophisticated. I just installed it to see if I like the idea of having completions pop up automatically.

ACP would be great if it weren't slow and dev-dead. Also doesn't fuzzy-match.
I forked autocomplpop a while back to fix a couple issues and make it easier to add new language support. Never noticed a speed issue. I always preferred acp vs the others due to its simplicity.

Oooh, nice to hear. I've done a bunch of mods to make ACP work with JS a while ago (https://github.com/romainl/dotvim/blob/master/bundle/autocom...) but I'll check your version.
It isn't slow, here. YMMV.
Aye. I remember having problems with autocomplop though when I had a rather large amounts of text open at once; YouCompleteMe seems like an improvement in that regard though. Handled

  `vim src/**/*.go`
quite nicely.
