Getting started on an official autocompletion story 6+ years in, is a demonstration of this corporate-backed might?

Something like C# and VisualStudio going hand-in-hand from the outset is a demonstration of corporate-backed tooling might.

Microsoft has always been very supportive of the developers in all the technologies they put on the market (Remember the "Developers!" from Ballmer?). They have the expertise in tools and company long-term requirements. Now that they are combining all that with a more open approach, we get Visual Studio Code, the Language Server Protocol, the buying of GitHub, etc. Interesting times for the developers!

Microsoft is perhaps the very best example of this.
