In large code bases it can be really hard to keep everything in your head, and that's when a little tab complete can really come in handy. Just forgetting specific method names when you know there's one you want to use can be very handy.

It can help. Often does. But I treat it like spell check. If I need it, I'm probably using the wrong word. And I don't know how to use it to effectively search for words.
