Having decent autocomplete ui out of the box and a way to add providers that drive it is one of the key steps towards an IDE.

This is especially exciting when you look at Dart and TypeScript as both provide analysis servers that can easily be consumed without having to build this yourself.

It seems like going forward we will see popular platforms to provide their own analyzer and debugging tools which should level the playing field for text editors, IDEs and other tools to compete on UX.
