Yes, the ui is too complex. While its cool that we can provide all that
information I really think that when you want some completion you only
want to be able to pick the right entry, which means having the basic
needed information - for C++ thats the signature of the function or the
type and similar. For a code-snippet its probably the first n characters
of the text.

I'm not even sure how to create unnamed groups right now, but not
providing any group name works fine. About the empty columns I don't
know. So far I didn't yet see an empty completion widget.
