Numerous things in code completion have occurred in 2.0.
There is no more "fully automatic" mode in 2.0. That is, code sense won't pop-up when you start typing anything. I kind of miss that from 1.5, but then again I would also find it extremely annoying sometimes. So it's probably a wash as to whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Setting the option "Automatically suggest on member call / access" will give you the 1.5 effect when it comes to method names and member variables. Once you type the name of the receiver/structure/reference and start typing the method name, Xcode 2.0 will automatically pop up the code completion list without being asked.

Odd, that's working here just fine. If I type "someRef-><ESC>" I get a list of member variables.

The new start code-completion short-cut is the <esc> key. Esc will both bring up and dismiss the auto-completion pop-up list. Much easier than hunting for F5.
My only gripe, so far, is that the new code-completion seems to be case insensitive and there is not option to make it case sensative. If I type
hash<esc>
Code-completion give me the choice of "hashPackageIdentifier" (the variable I want) as well as "HashPackageIdentifier" (the class). I don't want the second one in my completion list because now I have to pay attention not only to the end of the completion (the ...PackageIdentifier part I want to autocomplete), but I have to watch the first part for erroneous case changes in what I've already typed.
