Not only are they just fancy autocomplete, they are so intrusive that it increases friction for me instead of lowering it

Having to pause a second to decide if I want to tab complete a line is one thing

And especially because if I reject the suggestion, the damn thing keeps re-suggesting stuff while I'm typing the rest out

Constant interrupting and irritating
