Visual Studio "intellisense" has always been pretty good for me. Seemed to make good guesses about my intentions without doing anything wild. It seemed to use ad hoc rules and patterns, but it worked and then got out of the way.

Then it got worse a couple of years ago when they tried some early-stage AI approach. I turned it off. I expect that next time I update VS it'll have got substantially worse and it will have removed the option for me to disable it.

Agreed, the old Visual Basic, Visual C++, Borland Delphi, Visual C# experiences were how I dove into the deep end of several languages back in the late 90's/early 2000's. Things were VERY discoverable at that point. Obviously a deeper understanding of a language is necessary for doing real work, but noodling around just trying to get a feel for what can be done, is a great way to get started.
