OK, I use Visual Basic's IDE with auto-completion, so I'm familiar with
what you're talking about. (Yes, I hate Microsoft, but I don't have much
choice.)
But I can see this boils down to broad cultural differences --
-- I touch type, so I could care less how "easy" something is to type:
it's all easy (I use NotePad in Windows).
-- 99% of my time is spent arranging (& re-arranging); the minuscule
amount of time I spend creating a .ly file is negligible.
-- I have skeleton .ly files; I load one of them into NotePad and make
some minor changes in the boilerplate. Virtually everything I type is
notes, not keywords.
So we've got different needs.
