What happened to tab autocomplete?

Developers continue to rely on LSP-based tab autocomplete for deterministic and reliable code completion, despite the rise of agentic programming tools. Many programmers avoid AI-powered autocomplete features like Copilot or Supermaven, citing annoyance and concerns about developing a dependency that slows their own coding ability.

Does anyone still use them? Now that agentic programming software are available. not sure if you mean LSP or copilot-style autocomple, but I still use the LSP autocomplete. It's deterministic, reliable and useful. If you mean copilot-style autocomplete, I don't like it or use it. I tried supermaven in summer 2024/2025 for a couple of months, but ultimately found it more annoying than useful. What mostly discouraged me was the worry that I might develop The Copilot Pause https://thomasvogelaar.me/posts/the-copilot-pause/ I do use LLMs/agents/whatever they're called this week, but i usually have it work on some support tooling, sometimes migrations/refactors in the background while i continue working on whatever I was working on. Yes of course. Why would I stop using it when programming?
