I tried TabNine for some weeks and I thought it was great.

But I found out that I was always double checking that what the extension guessed was actually what I wanted.

Although I was amazed the 75% of the time it guessed exactly what I wanted to write, I still needed to choose the good guess.

It's like you are not coding but watching someone learn how to code for you...

So in the end, I find it quite counterproductive. I prefer having a clean autosuggestion list and be sure I can trust every item of it.

Hmm, i see what you are saying, the actual intelisense for each language are way easier for sure.

I'm just blown away so far, by how good it works on actual writings.
Do see how it can become counter productive.
