LSP giving us high-quality autocomplete for nearly every language has made simple llm-driven autocomplete less magical. Yes, it has good suggestions some of the time, but it's not really revolutionary

On the other hand I love cursor's autocomplete implementation. It doesn't just provide suggestions for the current cursor location, it also provides suggestions where the cursor should jump next within the file. You change a function name and just press tab a couple of times to change the name in the docstring and everywhere else. Granted, refactoring tools have done that forever for function names, but now it works for everything. And if you do something repetitive it picks up on what you are doing and turns it into a couple quick keypresses

It's still annoying sometimes
