Don't feel bad, the requests for autocomplete have been constant over the
years and I think far more people will want it than not. For myself, I'm at
the far end of minimalism, I don't even use script colorization. Anything
that distracts my eye gets turned off. I had the same problem with the new
handler list suggestions because they interrupted my spacial memory of
where in the list my own handlers should be.
I do think I might use it on those occasions when I can't remember a term,
which usually happens with newly introduced features. The suggestion to put
a quick toggle into the contextual menu is very tempting for that reason.
Another reason for a toggle is to turn it on while writing new scripts and
toggle it off when debugging or editing existing ones.
This isn't an issue for me of "not liking change", I enthusiastically
embraced the new bracket completion. It's just a visual distraction issue,
which I don't deal with very well for some physical reasons.

your work is please turn it off I have a PR that lets you do that here:

Personally I don't want Script Editor Autocomplete at all: I'd rather stand
or fall by my own light, so the ability to turn this off is a MUST as far
as I am
concerned.

Hi there,
I was wondering, if I find I don’t like the
new Script Editor Autocomplete function
because I find it too distracting, can I turn
it off? I think the ability to turn it off might
be important to some people.
I'd like an option like that too, I'm a minimalist.
