there are certainly command line tools for the last two things, and for someone who doesn't like it, autocomplete may be more of a handicap than not using it

I think he's talking about specifically blueblur, who uses emacs

It is for me. I've tried a variety of settings for it to reduce the delay and the # of characters for it to pop up on, but I always end up turning it off.

Emacs has a stuffton of extensions and stuff available for it too, does it not?

I was gonna add that I was sure emacs and vim have autocomplete extensions, but I don't actually know, so I didn't, lol

What are you talking about?
That's all there, just as individual tools that aren't built into the editor. (except autocomplete which is available in many forms in emacs)
And emacs has a lot of that anyway, and for the stuff it doesn't have, there's extensions.

I don't care about what your professors say. I'm stupid
Anything an IDE can do can be achieved without one.

I've never found autocomplete all that useful.
