Let me see... over 50 categories of functions in PHP for hundreds of 
functions, numerous little things in XHTML and potentially dozens if not 
hundreds of PHP variables, functions, classes and objects in a page. Try 
working with DocBook with hundreds of tags. Little wonder auto completion is 
one of the most coveted features in IDEs.

One would think you possess a flawless memory filled with minutia and never 
suffered the hours of agony from a silly typo, or you are sticking to coding 
the "lite" version. ;-)

I have a pretty good memory, but I find it's too easy to be killed remembering
Built_in_function()
BuiltInFunction()
built_in_function()
Built_In_Function()
builtinfunction()
BuiltInFunc()
Each of the above can easily be transposed as this would call 6 different 
functions if they all existed. I haven't even gotten to parameter names, 
types, which ones are optional and how many.

If you've ever lost an hour trying to figure out why something didn't work 
only to find out there was a typo or duplicate variable name there is an 
answer.
