Who has bought the autcompletion feature for Linqpad ? I know it's only $ 19 but I'd like to hear from you if it's worth it... Does it have any bugs? Does it really help in speeding up your linq queries development? Is there any limitations or any particular thing you might have found frustating?

Any thoughts are appreciated ....

I just purchased the autocomplete feature in LINQPad, and so far, it has performed exactly as expected, looks and feels very much like Visual Studio (e.g. tab to autocomplete works exactly the same)

It should be noted that the autocomplete only works for use in C# modes, so VB and SQL modes don't benefit from the feature.

Additionally, when using the C# Statements mode, the autocomplete works for objects already declared (any time "." is entered) and it also kicks in for type declarations (i.e. when using the new keyword), but autocompelte does not appear when starting certain statements (e.g. starting a while loop.

To be clear, I've been very pleased with the performance of LINQPad's autocomplete. Remember, when in doubt, press Ctrl+Space!
