That said, Andy Satori's message has some good stuff in it. Myself, I would not like tool tips to start popping up all over my screen. But I would appreciate a feature of Project Builder that watches what I type and gives me contextual reference information in another pane of the window. As he said, if I type "[NSString " it'd be neat to see a quick API reference of the class methods of NSString appear, not in an obtrusive way but simply in another pane. But pop-up tool-tips getting in my way? No, thank you. I'd rather slog through the documentation.

At least in Eclipse, this concern is addressed by only popping the tooltip up if the developer pauses at the relevant point in the line she is typing. IMO this works rather well.
