Got in the way: Autocomplete suggestions were distracting and often incorrect.

… I had the same experience, I feel like I must be crazy because so many of my colleagues have been singing its praises. I found it immensely distracting and disabled it again after a couple of days. It was like having someone trying to finish my sentence while I was still speaking; even when they were right, it was still annoying and knocked me out of my flow (and very often, it wasn’t right).
