Many code editors do code completion -- it is a great productivity tool for 
developers ramping on using modules they are not intimately familiar with. MS 
made the code available which makes it easier for other editors / IDEs to do 
the same.

For less sophisticated developers (most people, and most of the VS market), the 
compiler errors will remove much debugging frustration and allow them to focus 
on creating rather than debugging.

Code completion was a HUGE feature for Perl and Python developers when I built 
Komodo at ActiveState.
