I almost always turn off autocomplete

I treat it like eye candy: Just some fun, animated blandishment that makes me feel all 1337 while banging out code.

What would be nice is if the auto-complete window could be detached from the cursor and float in a corner of the editor, so I can look at it for those times when I have a brain fart and can't remember which parameter comes first in a function.

Emacs + company + posframe to the rescue.
