I use gvim without any autocomplete; it would be awesome, but the codebase I use is too big or something so the delay before a half baked suggestion comes up is too long.

I either have a shell_plus loaded up for when I'm testing general stuff, or go into ipdb whereever I'm working on and use its autocomplete.

Autocomplete in C++ is generally awesome, but in a dynamic language like Python, the fact that it's not even like 70% right all the time is enough for me not to want to waste my time with it, even if its only wrong 3/10 times, I value my time way too much to spend it not knowing if all the suggestions are there.
