As far as the context-sensitive help aspect goes, there's probably
not much could be done to help users find their way around their
AppleScript code,
Scripter has/had a number of useful things to assist. There was an
object map (much like Script Debugger has), and a Command Builder
(which was a nice concept, but all of the mouse clicking drove me
nuts so I rarely ever used it). The command builder wasn't really an
"auto complete", but more like a guide dog to help you complete. If
an application had some tortured syntax that you couldn't grok from
the dictionary, it could reveal it for you.
It had an Object spec builder, and perhaps the most useful of them
all, a live probe for the object hierarchy of a document in a
currently running application. The latter was often useful to quickly
sort out odd containment relationships. I used it a lot to sort out
issues in FrameMaker.
