If you don't know how to access the "desktop environment configuration" object, how do you find it?

Snippet search integrated into the IDE is very useful. Yes, the snippets in the video aren't perfect. That isn't a big deal - those snippets will be modified/replaced.

My point is that you shouldn't need snippets; where you would use a snippet, write a library instead. Adding code to your application is the worst possible thing you can do when programming. Don't use tools that make this easy.

How would you respond to this? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2905201

"Programmers would still need to search for methods to call. You can use CodeMatch to write snippets that call methods and CodeMatch can also auto-import libraries (or insert the classes/methods inline)."
