I think this is very much an age dependent thing for me. When I started programming, there were no LSPs. There was not even any real code completion. I was using the Delphi 1 IDE in my first job and that didn't even really have any type checking till you compiled.

I think Delphi 3 was the first version with basic completion.

I do feel like I have suffered and become a little too dependent on LSPs/AI over time. But it is easy to see why when they can basically write your next line for you with quite a lot of accuracy these days.
