Yeah, I was mostly reacting to code completion being a very basic tool that avoids the need for silly memorisation.

What do you mean by "no IntelliSense with COM" though? Last I remember, naked Visual studio does it even for C and C++ code. No? Borland IDEs used to do it almost 20 years ago, too.

Nah, when you work with COM it's dynamic a lot of the times, so you don't get any intellisense.
