It's a glorified autocomplete to me. It seems like it feeds me mostly things I'd get from searching Stack Overflow. The first day was pretty interesting but the novelty wore off quickly. You still need to grok what it spews out and see if it's correct.

And the worst thing about that is that you don't get the context of the Stack Overflow threads, where people discuss the impact of the given solution and alternatives. So after a week, off it went for me.




Do you use autocomplete, and would you say that it did a better job than autocomplete? If so why would you disable it?


I use autocomplete, but because of the async API calls it was slower than normal autocomplete.
