Just how fast are you all typing, anyway? Just how much is your
productivity accelerated by having the code completion toy? How much
time do you spend THINKING about what you are doing as opposed to
actually typing code? In my case, having all the foundation class
information under my fingertips would not make that much of a
difference. I still have to step back periodically and think about
what I am doing, and that often means perusing the class information
using the Cocoa Browser (which is a hell of a lot more convenient for
that purpose than code completion).
I believe that the issue isn't a matter of typing speed, or anything
quite like that.
It's more a matter of (at least in my case) of not wanting to stop
and look up the exact wording, capitalization etc for a method name...
if this can be done in a less intrusive manner than having to flip to
a documentation view or class browser, then that's a win.
Point taken. But you still need to have some IDEA of the method name
even for code completion to work.
My point is, it's a nice convenience, not a necessity.

Discussion after watching Disney's "Lilo & Stitch":
DAD: "But why did the space aliens speak English, as opposed to French,
or Swahili? And why did the one alien speak English with an Eastern
European accent? I don't get it."
CATHERINE (age 7): "That's 'cause you don't have a good cartoon brain."
