Cool, but.

Almost all the tools (shells, editors, sql clients) I use; either have (or I made to have) tab completion. This has been true to various degrees for 20years. Tab key to complete is utterly ingrained in my muscle memory.

And, the constantly on, constantly changing completions "suggestions" are utterly distracting.

Would like to see the "engine" plugged into standard vim completion (omnicomplete).

People who think vim completion is poor need to checkout supertab, jedi-vim, and language specific plugins such as python_calltips.

To each his own, I personally love it. :)

There's been a few requests for keeping the semantic completion engine but turning off the identifier-based engine (this is the "always-on" part) so the feature will be implemented some time soon.
